[PATCH v2 2/2] drm: ensure blend mode supported if alpha exposed
From: Leandro Ribeiro
Date: Mon May 04 2026 - 10:11:14 EST
Before "drm/drm_blend: allow blend mode property without PREMULTI",
userspace would have to assume that only PREMULTI was supported by
drivers that didn't expose the blend mode property. But now userspace
shouldn't relly on that, as they can't count with drivers always
supporting PREMULTI.
Error out if a driver expose alpha property or pixel formats with alpha
and does not expose the blend mode property. This way userspace don't
have to guess. Drivers that hit such error must be fixed.
