The DRM helper drm_fb_build_fourcc_list() creates a list of color formats for primary planes of the generic drivers. Simplify the helper: - It used to mix and filter native and emulated formats as provided by the driver. Now the only emulated format is XRGB8888, which is required as fallback by legacy software. Drop support for emulating any other formats. - Also convert alpha formats to their non-alpha counterparts. Generic drivers don't support primary planes with alpha formats and some DTs incorrectly advertise alpha channels for non-alpha hardware. So only export non-alpha formats for primary planes. With the simplified helper, scrap format lists of the affected generic drivers. All they need is the firmware buffer's native format, from which the helper creates the list of color formats.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
