PR Summary
Previously using
plt.plot([1, 3, 2], marker=MarkerStyle('o', fillstyle='none'), markerfacecolor='red')
resulted in the markers to be filled red. This does not make sense as it silently discards fillstyle='none'.Instead, the markers should still be unfilled. Markerfacecolor is already ignored for unfillable markers like 'x'. The same should hold for unfilled marker that could potentially be filled but are explicitly set to be unfilled.
The effect of this can be seen in the 'none' markers being filled at
https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/marker_reference.html#marker-fill-styles. (Here it's triggered with keyword argument fillstyle='none', but the code path is the same).
