Summary ======= This series of patches refactor some vkms components in order to introduce new formats to the planes and writeback connector.
Now in the blend function, the plane's pixels are converted to ARGB16161616 and then blended together.
The CRC is calculated based on the ARGB1616161616 buffer. And if required, this buffer is copied/converted to the writeback buffer format.
And to handle the pixel conversion, new functions were added to convert from a specific format to ARGB16161616 (the reciprocal is also true).
Tests ===== This patch series was tested using the following igt tests: -t ".*kms_plane.*" -t ".*kms_writeback.*" -t ".*kms_cursor_crc*" -t ".*kms_flip.*"
New tests passing ------------------- - pipe-A-cursor-size-change - pipe-A-cursor-alpha-transparent
Performance ----------- It's running slightly faster than the current implementation.
Results running the IGT[1] test `igt@kms_cursor_crc@pipe-a-cursor-512x512-onscreen` ten times:

XRGB to ARGB behavior ===================== During the development, I decided to always fill the alpha channel of the output pixel whenever the conversion from a format without an alpha channel to ARGB16161616 is necessary. Therefore, I ignore the value received from the XRGB and overwrite the value with 0xFFFF.
Primary plane and CRTC size =========================== This patch series reworks the blend function to accept a primary plane with a different size and position from CRTC. Because now we need to fill the background, we had a loss in performance with this change
