Hi Mike,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm afraid that's not enough. There's a crucial difference between
DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888 (already supported by this driver) and
DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888: for the latter, the 'X' component must be ignored.
The graphics layer is blended on top of the video layer, and the blender
uses both a global alpha parameter and the alpha channel of the graphics
layer for 32-bit RGB formats. This will lead to incorrect operation when
the 'X' component is not set to full opacity.
