The KMS mode_config elements are currently configured in vc4_kms_load,
that is called after all components are binded (component_bind_all).
However, the CRTC component (for the Pixel Valve) needs to access the
allow_fb_modifiers element at bind time, when initializing its planes
through drm_universal_plane_init.
This helpers checks allow_fb_modifiers to decide whether to fill the
IN_FORMATS property. Because allow_fb_modifiers is still set to false
at this point, the property is never filled and userspace cannot
retrieve the combination of supported formats and modifiers.
Fix this by setting allow_fb_modifiers right after calling
drm_mode_config_init (which initializes the structure), before binding
the components of the driver.

This makes me wonder if the flag could be removed and replaced with "did
non-NULL modifiers get supplied to plane init?" I think I've tripped
over this flag in other KMS hacking, too.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Just setting it in plane_init should work I
think ...

Yeah, we probably need to keep the flag around since it's used in
various places, but we could totally have it auto-set as soon as a
plane is registered with a list of modifiers.
I was also thinking of allowing the core to fill-in the IN_FORMATS prop
even without this flag set, which would only list formats (but not
modifiers).
What do you think?
Cheers,
Paul
