With this change the format would be still looked up twice, in the
drm_internal_framebuffer_create() -> (drm_mode_config_funcs::fb_create)
omap_framebuffer_create() -> omap_framebuffer_init() call path.
This is the same wrt. the other drivers, which also have both an fbdev
and other framebuffer users (the latter calling
drm_mode_config_funcs::fb_create()) and so OMAP should look up/pass down
the format info the same way.
I posted the fix based on the above, see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250805175752.690504-2-imre.d...@intel.com
which is now also pushed to drm-misc-next-fixes -> drm-tip.
