If you mean dumb buffer, then no, this does not break users as dumb
buffers are allocated as scanout:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_gem.c#L603

If you mean omap_bo allocated buffers, then if users want
linear(scanout) buffer, then they request it explicitly by passing
OMAP_BO_SCANOUT.
