Just bikeshed, but maybe a few more words on what exactly is broken and
how this works around it. Specifically why we only accept these, but don't
advertise them.

Needs Fixes: line here. Also nice to mention the bug reporter/link.

Hm I tried to understand what this magic does by looking at drm_fourcc.h,
but the drm_fourcc_canonicalize_nvidia_format_mod() in there implements
something else. Is that function wrong, or should we use it here instead?

Or is there something else going on entirely?
