This is what i think of usage of this property:
Composer/user mode starts using plane with XRGB format and then it wants to add transparency to the plane. So it will set the format to ARGB format and provide buffer for that plane that will have pixels with pre-multiplied alpha (a*r, a*g, a*b, a). This can be done with primary plane(CRTC) as well, however I have not added this as CRTC property since CRTCs are going to be drm_plane soon. Will this kind of interface for usermode to toggle the pixel format's alpha be useful?
