[PATCH] drm/virtio: add ARGB8888 support for primary planes

From: Dorinda Bassey

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 09:42:41 EST


Add DRM_FORMAT_HOST_ARGB8888 to the list of supported formats for
virtio-gpu primary planes. Without this, glmark2-drm fails at
startup because it selects ARGB visual configs by default, which
don't match the XRGB-only plane capabilities. This causes
drmModeSetCrtc to fail with EINVAL.

The virtio_gpu_translate_format() function already handles
ARGB8888 translation to VIRTIO_GPU_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM,
so this just exposes the existing capability to userspace.
