I also just noticed that there's a workaround (Wa_14019417088) that
requires us to always bind FBC to plane 3.

        "Plane - FBC binding is fixed to Plane 3."

And it's marked as a permanent workaround for Xe2_LPD.  So it sounds
like even though the hardware was designed to support FBC on any of the
three planes, the reality is that we can only use it on one specific
plane for this platform; moving it around will have to wait for the next
platform down the road.
