Agree with Geert, this patch basically just inlines the drm_mode_addfb()
implementation which already calls drm_mode_addfb2() but without setting
a struct drm_mode_fb_cmd2 .modifier field or anything modififers related.

So if that is wrong then it should be done as a follow-up patch (which
should also fix the drm_mode_addfb() helper implementation) ?
