Full disclosure, Ville wanted to do something similar since forever
I'm not a huge fan of removing limitations of legacy ioctls. Worst
case we break something, best case no gain in features since why don't
you just use atomic. Since this (amdgpu modifiers) broke something we
have to fix it, hence I'd go with the more minimal version from Bas
here.

But in general your patch should be correct too.
