It's a good idea for a hardware overlay to a plane object isn't changed
by user-space. However, this patch would make the compatibility of the
existing application - using set_property ioctl to change hardware
overlay to particular plane - to be broken because the set_property
ioctl request will always be failed without the set_property callback.

So how about leaving warning message 'the hardware overlay cannot be
changed to another anymore' when the set_property ioctl is requested by
user-space, and returning just 0?

Thanks,
