The reason I checked for depth instead of a 4CC code is that the only
thing that matters here is the number of bits per pixel.  Hence this
function won't need any changes to support R1, R2, R4, and D1 later.
When we get here, we already know that we are using a format that
is supported by the fbdev helper code, and thus passed the 4CC
checks elsewhere.

Alternatively, we could introduce drm_format_info_bpp() earlier in
the series, and use that?

The cases above are purely to handle bpp < 8; they are not
about color-indexed vs. truecolor modes.
XRGB1111 mode would need to be handled above, too.

A non-existing color-indexed mode with zero colors ;-)
Introduced purely to make a check like in the comment below work.
What we really want to check here is if the mode is color-indexed
or not...

Again, this is not about color-indexed vs. truecolor, but about bpp.
drm_format_info_bpp()?

This one is about color-indexed vs. truecolor.

Again, this is not about color-indexed vs. truecolor, but about bpp.
Here I do check the 4CC codes, as this controls which modes can be
handled by the fbdev emulation, and we do not want to let random
modes with depth or bpp < 8 pass.

Perhaps. I don't know enough about DRM to know what the depth field
is used for.

Note that true fbdev supports all values of depth < bpp (e.g. a
32-color mode (depth = 5) where each pixel is stored in one byte).
I do not suggest adding support for that, though ;-)

BTW, probably this WARN_ON() (which existed before, but got moved)
should be converted into returning an error instead.
