[PATCH] drm/msm/dpu: advertise linear-only modifiers on platforms without UBWC
From: Mahadevan P
Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 07:23:29 EST
Certain Qualcomm targets like QCM2290 and Shikra do not have UBWC
support. On such targets, advertising DRM_FORMAT_MOD_QCOM_COMPRESSED
in the supported modifier list causes userspace to attempt UBWC
allocations that the kernel rejects:
msm_dpu: [drm] *ERROR* unsupported format modifier 500000000000003
msm_dpu: [drm] *ERROR* unsupported pixel format: AR24 little-endian
On platforms without UBWC, only advertise DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR to
avoid exposing formats that the hardware cannot handle.
Fixes: 71c5c23be874 ("drm/msm/dpu: check ubwc support before adding compressed formats")
