I see your point now. Yeah, we'll end up with
plane_state.enable_fbc=true for two different planes. Later, the first
one to call intel_fbc_enable() will win, and the others will be
ignored, so we'll indeed end up with plane states having
enable_fbc=true but FBC not enabled by them. Not a real bug, I would
still like to avoid this confusion.

The simplest solution I can think would be to just
s/plane_state.enable_fbc/plane_state.can_enable_fbc/ and just let the
first one to call intel_fbc_enable() win... And then, if we ever decide
to enable FBC on the older platforms, we can choose to maybe implement
a better method (and fix all the possible FBC problems for those
platforms). Is this solution worth a R-B from you?

If you have any better idea here, feel free to suggest it. I'm not sure
it's possible to come up with something much better due to all the
parallelism involved. Making one CRTC "take over" FBC from the other is
something I'd really love to avoid.

Thanks,
Paulo
