See one comment below about the alpha blending equation.
Otherwise, this is:

As Eric highlighted already, it's hard to grasp what "premultiplied
alpha" is about. From what I can see, the Wayland proposal supports the
following blending equations:
* none: no alpha
* opaque: alpha between 1 (opaque) and 0 (transparent)
* premultiplied: alpha between 1 and 1 - (pixel alpha)
* straight: alpha between (pixel alpha) and 1 - (pixel alpha)
The comment seems to imply that the value should always be specified to
DRM as premultiplied. I think it would be good to explain what this
entails in the comment and in other relevant places (e.g. DRM
documentation).
Also, I'm not sure this is the best fit for all the hardware out there,
so to deal with the possible variety of cases, we could:
* Have a way for the driver to expose what blending equations are
supported (maybe another DRM property?)
* Keep the DRM property implicitly (although with clear documentation
about it) tied to one specific equation (e.g. premultiplied) and have
the drivers to the adaptation on the coefficient if needed to fit what
the hardware needs.
