Well, some variants of SAND are only valid for a reduced set of
formats. IIRC, SAND256 only applies to NV12 while others apply to other
YUV formats as well.

So I believe it's relevant to distinguish between the different SAND
tilings when checking for support.

However, the function could be simplified by simply passing the
modifier, extracting the base modifier (without column height, that is
coded in the modifier) and calling igt_plane_has_format_mod.

Cheers,

Paul
