> Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/display: expose blend mode on alpha-capable planes
> 
> Since commit 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel format
> with alpha exposed"), drm_mode_config_validate() warns when a plane exposes
> an alpha pixel format but not the "pixel blend mode"
> property. The cursor (ARGB8888, all platforms) and the VLV/CHV primary and
> sprite planes trip this.

> Userspace has historically assumed premultiplied blending when the property is

> property
> already blended with fixed pre-multiplied alpha in hardware. Therefore, 
> expose a
> "pixel blend mode" property advertising only DRM_MODE_BLEND_PREMULTI to
> match that assumption and silence the warning. The cursor call is 
> unconditional;
> the primary and sprite calls are gated to VLV/CHV, the only platforms whose
> format lists include alpha formats.

Looks Good to me.
