Thanks for the comment, which I found is quite useful.  It reminds me
something in the existing code which could be optimized.

We already have a subclass of drm_plane.  That's struct zx_plane in
zx_plane.c.  Initially, I thought it might be good to keep the structure
local in zx_plane driver.  It should make the most sense for the ideal
case, like all the data we have to encode in the structure will only be
accessed inside zx_plane driver.  Unfortunately, I found it's not quite
true.  There are a few layer specific hardware bits we need to configure
do not sit inside layer block itself, but in some VOU hardware glue
blocks like OSD_CTRL and VOU_CTRL.  These glue blocks are only available
in zx_vou driver.  If we can access struct zx_plane from zx_vou driver,
things will become much easier and functions like find_vl_idx can be
saved completely.

I have worked out v3 with your comment addressed.  There are a couple
of new patches added, which moves struct zx_plane from zx_plane.c to
zx_plane.h and adds support of disabling layer.  I will post it shortly.
Please take another look at your convenient time.  Thanks for your time.

Shawn
