+ * struct drm_mode_fb_cmd2 - Frame-buffer metadata.
+ *
+ * This struct holds frame-buffer metadata. There are two ways to use it:
+ *
+ * - User-space can fill this struct and perform a &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB2
+ *   ioctl to register a new frame-buffer. The new frame-buffer object ID will
+ *   be set by the kernel in @fb_id.
+ * - User-space can set @fb_id and perform a &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2 ioctl to
+ *   fetch metadata about an existing frame-buffer.
+ *
+ * In case of planar formats, this struct allows up to 4 buffer objects with
+ * offsets and pitches per plane. The pitch and offset order are dictated by
+ * the format FourCC as defined by ``drm_fourcc.h``, e.g. NV12 is described as:
+ *
+ *     YUV 4:2:0 image with a plane of 8-bit Y samples followed by an
+ *     interleaved U/V plane containing 8-bit 2x2 subsampled colour difference
+ *     samples.
+ *
+ * So it would consist of a Y plane at ``offsets[0]`` and a UV plane at
+ * ``offsets[1]``.
+ *
+ * To accommodate tiled, compressed, etc formats, a modifier can be specified.
+ * For more information see the "Format Modifiers" section. Note that even
+ * though it looks like we have a modifier per-plane, we in fact do not. The
+ * modifier for each plane must be identical. Thus all combinations of
+ * different data layouts for multi-plane formats must be enumerated as
+ * separate modifiers.
+ *
+ * All of the entries in @handles, @pitches, @offsets and @modifier must be
+ * zero when unused. Warning, for @offsets and @modifier zero can't be used to
+ * figure out whether the entry is used or not since it's a valid value (a zero
+ * offset is common, and a zero modifier is &DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR).
