Hi,

thanks for the follow-up patch.

drm_crtc_init() creates the primary plane from a fixed format list
that includes ARGB8888. The display engine programs the primary plane
with DISPPLANE_32BPP_NO_ALPHA, so it does not support per-pixel alpha
and must not advertise alpha formats. Since commit 860e748bddcc
("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel format with alpha exposed"),
drm_mode_config_validate() warns about this at probe time.

Replace drm_crtc_init() with a driver-owned primary plane that
advertises only XRGB8888.

That comment applies to the complete array, so it should go first.

I think you should open-code the initializer macro.  Because the non-atomic modesetting is deprecated, open-coding the macro now might help if we ever want to convert the gma500 driver to atomic mode setting.

Please call drmm_universal_plane_alloc() instead. It will handle cleanup for you.
