Even if we only wanted to do one of those things (calculate the size
in bytes of the framebuffer), we need to know the bits_per_unit, as
well as the number of units. Without the second (+third) variables, we
can't figure out number of units and so we can't figure out the size.

Separate point: modifiers certainly shouldn't come in to this
discussion - modifier-related validation is always going to need to be
in the driver, and is a separate thing entirely (not contained in
drm_format_info).

It looks to me that the right thing to do is set cpp to zero for the
"non integer" formats I want to add, and entirely defer to drivers to
figure those out (after all, any size calculation the core does for
them will be moot, because they are only valid with modifiers, and
modifiers can change the size).

How the tiled stuff (Y0L0, Y0L2) gets described can be a separate
topic. If it happens to support non-integer cpp formats as a side
effect, then more the better - when someone comes along with a
non-integer-cpp format which actually _is_ supported in linear layout
they can use it. I hope Daniel can describe in more detail exactly how
he sees that bit working though, because I don't think that either
Alex or me understand that yet.

Cheers,
-Brian
