[PATCH] drm/pl111: Advertise no pixel blending
From: Roshan Kumar
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 06:58:34 EST
Commit 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if
pixel format with alpha exposed") added validation that warns when a
plane exposes an alpha format without a pixel blend mode property. PL111
exposes several such formats but does not attach the property.
The PL110/PL111 controller scans out a single framebuffer and does not
blend its alpha channel with a background. Advertise
DRM_MODE_BLEND_PIXEL_NONE to match the existing hardware behavior.
With panic_on_warn enabled, this warning prevents the syzkaller
vexpress-a15 manager from booting. The change was tested on current
master with QEMU 10 and the existing production DTB; the guest reached
sshd and returned an SSH banner.
