The colorspace conversion happens during the upload so the necessary hints must be provided to ensure that the conversion works correctly. At least the Mesa Intel driver will create a texture without error but produces an incorrect result. Use eglQueryDmaBufModifiersEXT() to check if non-external upload is supported for the given format.
