Thanks for correction!

Have tried with Sway 1.9 and weston 14.0.0 and didn't find a way to make
them create buffers with AFBC modifiers. modetest util in libdrm doesn't
support it either.

I'm not sure the use case of an AFBC-enabled primary plane. It should be
rare the whole primary plane is filled with pixel data from GPU or video
codec.

If my guess is true, bailing out when AFBC is enabled should be
acceptable. Will try to do some AFBC tests if possible and consider
it as a latest solution.

btw, I forget to check whether drm_gem_fb_vmap() succeeds. Will fix it
later.

Thanks for your advice again!
