I guess techinically we could skip it by knowing that X-tile is always
supported. However that may not hold in the future so not a soution I
really like. Also the drm_any_plane_has_format() call from 
framebuffer_check() is too early, so instead of checking X-tile
vs. linear based on the tiling it's going to always assume linear.
