[Lima] [PATCH v2] drm/fourcc: add ARM GPU tile format

I believe the answer to both is no, based on the parent email. The
uncompressed tiling scheme is older than AFBC, I think. Using the AFBC
modifiers for it doesn't make sense.

It's closer to "Mali GPU only formats" and "Everything else in the Mali
ecosystem"... Utgard-style tiling was GPU-specific. AFBC is Arm trying
to standardize across all their systems. Midgard+ can both render and
sample AFBC; the Mali video cores produce AFBC; the Mali display
processors consume AFBC; the Rockchip RK3399 display processor consumes
AFBC (I'm working on a patch to get that mainlined).

So upon further thought, I think this division makes sense.
