Drm_format_mod is used as one of the plane's characteristics when judging the dma-buf of the plane is new to expose or an old exposed one. As from V10 we leave this comparing logic to kernel, user mode might not need this field any more. If user mode wants, this can be also got though drm APIs. For example, eglCreateImageKHR() uses drm APIs to get the tiling format, without asking the invoker to explicitly use it as a parameter. 
Do you think this field is still needed?
