[PATCH] drm/virtio: Add pixel blend mode property to cursor plane

From: oushixiong1025

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 05:06:01 EST


From: Shixiong Ou <oushixiong@xxxxxxxxxx>

The cursor plane exposes a format with an alpha channel
(DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888) without a pixel blend mode property. Since
commit 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel
format with alpha exposed") this triggers a warning during
drm_mode_config_validate():

[ 0.649020] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 0.649040] [PLANE:36:plane-1] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup

Create the property with the only supported blend mode,
DRM_MODE_BLEND_PREMULTI, which is also the property's default and
matches what userspace had to assume before the property existed.
