It is up to a device driver to support specific format(s), not necessary 
an issue. At least for now amdgpu won't support XRGB8888 but XRGB2101010.

Not sure what's the proper test or the fallback you are referring to. 
The intention here is to test XRGB2101010 when possible without breaking 
the original behaviours for XRGB8888.

Changing kms_writeback to tests multiple formats requires significant 
modifications and tests which requires a driver capable of multiple 
formats in the first place. Once we or anyone have such supports we can 
come back to rework kms_writeback.
