I will check the compositor code and update you on the UWBC format 
modifier as I am not too familiar with it.

libdrm always supported virtual encoder 
https://github.com/grate-driver/libdrm/blob/master/include/drm/drm_mode.h#L352

What other support patches are needed? Right now we only use IGT to 
validate writeback.

Yes thats right msm8998 supports smartdma only on DMA sspps.
