Ilia Mirkin c20bb155c2 drm/nouveau: prefer XBGR2101010 for addfb ioctl
Nouveau only exposes support for XBGR2101010. Prior to the atomic
conversion, drm would pass in the wrong format in the framebuffer, but
it was always ignored -- both userspace (xf86-video-nouveau) and the
kernel driver agreed on the layout, so the fact that the format was
wrong didn't matter.

With the atomic conversion, nouveau all of a sudden started caring about
the exact format, and so the previously-working code in
xf86-video-nouveau no longer functioned since the (internally-assigned)
format from the addfb ioctl was wrong.

This change adds infrastructure to allow a drm driver to specify that it
prefers the XBGR format variant for the addfb ioctl, and makes nouveau's
nv50 display driver set it. (Prior gens had no support for 30bpp at all.)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
