drm: document DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2
There are a few details specific to the GETFB2 IOCTL. It's not immediately clear how user-space should check for the number of planes. Suggest using the handles field or the pitches field. The modifier array is filled with zeroes, ie. DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR. So explicitly tell user-space to not look at it unless the flag is set. Changes in v2 (Daniel): - Mention that handles should be used to compute the number of planes, and only refer to pitches as a fallback. - Reword bit about undefined modifier.

* DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2 - Get framebuffer metadata.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* This queries metadata about a framebuffer. User-space fills
|
||||||
|
* &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.fb_id as the input, and the kernels fills the rest of the
|
||||||
|
* struct as the output.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* If the client is DRM master or has &CAP_SYS_ADMIN, &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.handles
|
||||||
|
* will be filled with GEM buffer handles. Planes are valid until one has a
|
||||||
|
* zero handle -- this can be used to compute the number of planes.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* Otherwise, &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.handles will be zeroed and planes are valid
|
||||||
|
* until one has a zero &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.pitches.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* If the framebuffer has a format modifier, &DRM_MODE_FB_MODIFIERS will be set
|
||||||
|
* in &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.flags and &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.modifier will contain the
|
||||||
|
* modifier. Otherwise, user-space must ignore &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.modifier.
