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.

Of course we need that modifier for complete format info. Don't just
think for i915 usage, there's possible modifier for other vendor
driver, and it's required for e.g ADDFB2 in drm kms. Pls add it back
in next version.
