First primary plane cannot scale, supports RGB and C8. Second primary 
plane goes through the IPU, and as such can scale and convert pixel 
formats; it supports RGB, non-planar YUV, and multi-planar YUV.

Right now the userspace apps we have will simply pick the first one 
that fits the bill.

Cheers,
