On a 7.3-rc1 kernel without this patch, I saw the following:

Rock64 (RK3328):
```sh
root@rock64-test:~# dmesg --level 4 | grep PLANE
[    7.567004] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:35:plane-0] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    7.567083] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:38:plane-1] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    7.567132] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:42:plane-2] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
```

RockPro64 (RK3399):
```sh
root@rockpro64:~# dmesg --level 4 | grep PLANE
[    5.695597] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:35:plane-0] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    5.695636] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:38:plane-1] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    5.695665] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:42:plane-2] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    5.695692] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:45:plane-3] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    5.695718] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:48:plane-4] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
[    5.695745] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] [PLANE:51:plane-5] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup. Please fix.
```

And on a (7.3-rc4) kernel *with* this patch, those warnings were gone.
Thanks! Feel free to include
