Builds upon the existing NVIDIA 16Bx2 block linear format modifiers by adding more "fields" to the existing parameterized DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_16BX2_BLOCK format modifier macro that allow fully defining a unique-across- all-NVIDIA-hardware bit layout using a minimal set of fields and values. The new modifier macro DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_BLOCK_LINEAR_2D is effectively backwards compatible with the existing macro, introducing a superset of the previously definable format modifiers. Backwards compatibility has two quirks. First, the zero value for the "kind" field, which is implied by the DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_16BX2_BLOCK macro, must be special cased in drivers and assumed to map to the pre-Turing generic kind of 0xfe, since a kind of "zero" is reserved for linear buffer layouts on all GPUs. Second, it is assumed backwards compatibility is only needed when running on Tegra GPUs, and specifically Tegra GPUs prior to Xavier. This is based on two assertions: -Tegra GPUs prior to Xavier used a slightly different raw bit layout than desktop GPUs, making it impossible to directly share block linear buffers between the two. -Support for the existing block linear modifiers was incomplete, making them useful only for exporting buffers created by nouveau and importing them to Tegra DRM as framebuffers for scan out. There was no support for adding framebuffers using format modifiers in nouveau, nor importing dma-buf/PRIME GEM objects into nouveau userspace drivers with modifiers in Mesa. Hence it is assumed the prior modifiers were not intended for use on desktop GPUs, and as a corollary, were not intended to support sharing block linear buffers across two different NVIDIA GPUs. v2: - Added canonicalize helper function v3: - Added additional bit to compression field to support Tesla (NV5x,G8x,G9x,GT1xx,GT2xx) class chips.
