Bah, sorry about that!

We don't have a plane associated with the writeback, it's a connector
with a framebuffer attached to it. :(

The writeback will have to fit into that framebuffer, so it can't be
bigger than fb->w/h. Smaller, yes.

The way we agreed ~2 years ago in the community to implement this was to have
the writeback as a connector that gets the "output" of the CRTC and writes it into
memory rather than on phosphorus. We have not added a plane to that, but
in hindsight we might find it would have been useful.
