This main issue here is that we don't have yet the split between the
CRTC and the primary plane in the DRM API.

Why is this a problem? because you need to define a 'plane-alpha'
property on the CRTC and we'll have to maintain it forever and we don't
really want that when a neat split between the CRTC and primary plane is
not far off.

Work is ongoing on this, Matt bravely took the task:

With a v2 in the queue.

I believe we need to sort this first, before adding more plane properties.
