uapi/drm/drm_fourcc.h: Note on platform specificity for format modifiers
Make an additional note on DRM format modifiers for x and y tiling. These
format modifiers are defined for BDW+ platforms and therefore definition
is not valid for older gens. This is due to address swizzling for tiled
surfaces is no longer used. For newer platforms main memory controller has
a more effective address swizzling algorithm.
