Right, now I've tested:

* these patches from Anatoliy and me to help X11 use 16bpp mode by default
and removes the need to manually setup Xorg for 16bpp
* "drm: xlnx: zynqmp_dp: Support DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888" which enables the X11 default
24bpp to work, no need to set Xorg config to 16bpp
* "drm: zynqmp: Make the video plane primary" which also fixes the X11 default
24bpp to work, no need to set Xorg config to 16bpp

All of these fix HDMI graphics output on AMD KV260 board with yocto genericarm64 machine
and core-image-sato image which includes Xorg. The graphics rendering is still
very slow but I think that is a different problem.

I guess the last series from Sean Anderson is moving forward so I'll
reply to that thread separately.
