Revert "drm/amd/display: ignore modifiers when checking for format support"
This reverts commit 5089c4a8. This breaks validation and enumeration of display capable modifiers. The early return true means the rest of the validation code never gets executed, and we need that to enumerate the right modifiers to userspace for the format. The modifiers that are in the initial list generated for a plane are the superset for all formats and we need the proper checks in this function to filter some of them out for formats with which they're invalid to be used. Furthermore, the safety contract here is that we validate the incoming modifiers to ensure the kernel can handle them and the display hardware can handle them. This includes e.g. rejecting multi-plane images with DCC. Note that the legacy swizzle mechanism allows encoding more swizzles, and at fb creation time we convert them to modifiers and reject those with no corresponding modifiers. If we are seeing rejections I'm happy to help define modifiers that correspond to those, or if absolutely needed implement a fallback path to allow for less strict validation of the legacy path. However, I'd like to revert this patch, since any of these is going to be a significant rework of the patch, and I'd rather not the regression gets into a release or forgotten in the meantime.
