Hmm, so, I've been going back and forth about this for a loooooong time. Each
time I convince myself that one of the options we have is a good solution, I
think of the drawbacks and change my mind. To sum up:
- Forbid non-FB_ID props from being included in the atomic commit: makes it
painful for compositors, they need to have a special tearing codepath for no
real reason and the tearing API doesn't work the same as the non-tearing API
as Pekka said.
- Check any non-FB_ID props in the atomic commit, forbid changes here: we need
to use get_property(), which is a bit weird back-and-forth between u64s used
in the uAPI and actual underlying values stored in DRM structs. And the
MODE_ID check is a bit split between the set_property() function and the
check_modeset() one. Ideally we'd have a something_changed bool like we have
for modesets (mode_changed) but that would be a massive pain to plumb through
all of the props. Also get_property() is lightweight, it just casts whatever
struct field is being used to u64 and that's it.
All in all, I think I'd settle on the approach in this patch, but I'd prefer to
leave the MODE_ID stuff out. It would result in a less convoluted check, and I
can't think of any current compositor which re-creates the mode blob each
page-flip. That's not 100% consistent with the sync page-flip API, but I'm
worried about accumulating more special cases like this in the future.
Does that make sense?

Note to self: I was worried here to pass the "next" state to get_property(),
but it's before the set_property() call on that state, so should be fine.
