I had to google what CEC actually is. We don't have plans supporting it.
It looks like this is a matter of the HDMI driver supporting this and
not bound to the rockchip driver.

You enabled the panfrost driver with other patches, right?

This message is correct. This corresponds to
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_ARM_16X16_BLOCK_U_INTERLEAVED and the VOP2 driver doesn't
support this. I have a similar problem here with
weston-simple-dmabuf-egl.  By default this uses DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888
which ends up being PIPE_FORMAT_B8G8R8_UNORM in MESA. In
panfrost_afbc_format() we have:

        /* Don't allow swizzled formats on v7 */
        switch (format) {
        case PIPE_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_B8G8R8X8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_A8R8G8B8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_X8R8G8B8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_X8B8G8R8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_A8B8G8R8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_B8G8R8_UNORM:
        case PIPE_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM:
                if (dev->arch >= 7)
                        return PIPE_FORMAT_NONE;

                break;
        default:
                break;
        }

This means the driver won't do AFBC with that format and picks
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_ARM_16X16_BLOCK_U_INTERLEAVED instead. Now weston is
clever enough to not pass that into the VOP2 driver, apparently your
application is not and as a result you see that message.

In weston-simple-dmabuf-egl I can pass a suitable format on the command
line, in my case I use DRM_FORMAT_ABGR8888 (which becomes
PIPE_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM). With this the panfrost driver does AFBC
which then can be rendered in the VOP2 cluster window overlay.

Nope, the modifiers the VOP2 driver propagates are correct. It doesn't
claim to support DRM_FORMAT_MOD_ARM_16X16_BLOCK_U_INTERLEAVED.
