[PATCH] drm/virtio: Add pixel blend mode property to cursor plane

[PATCH] drm/virtio: Add pixel blend mode property to cursor plane

[oushixiong1025]

From: Shixiong Ou <oushixiong@kylinos.cn>

The cursor plane exposes a format with an alpha channel
(DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888) without a pixel blend mode property. Since
commit 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel
format with alpha exposed") this triggers a warning during
drm_mode_config_validate():

Create the property with the only supported blend mode,
DRM_MODE_BLEND_PREMULTI, which is also the property's default and
matches what userspace had to assume before the property existed.

This duplicates commit f2e64f450c16 ("drm/virtio: create blend mode property on cursor
plane") merged a bit earlier, what in turn results in double call to
drm_plane_create_blend_mode_property() what confuses userspace (modetest tool crashes).
