Since commit 860e748bdd ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel
format with alpha exposed"), drm_mode_config_validate() warns when a
plane exposes an alpha pixel format but not the "pixel blend mode"
property. The ast cursor plane (ARGB4444, ARGB8888) trips this on
driver load:
[PLANE:37:plane-1] pixel format with alpha exposed but blend mode not setup
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mode_config.c:872 at drm_mode_config_validate+0x48f/0x510 [drm]
...
Call Trace:
drm_dev_register+0x1ce/0x290 [drm]
ast_pci_probe+0x19d/0x3f0 [ast]
local_pci_probe+0x41/0x90
Per Thomas Zimmermann's review, the ASPEED documentation describes the
hardware cursor as blending with straight (non-pre-multiplied) alpha,
which corresponds to DRM_MODE_BLEND_COVERAGE. Expose a "pixel blend
mode" property advertising only DRM_MODE_BLEND_COVERAGE to make the
hardware semantics explicit and silence the warning.
