We've exposed alpha formats in the past so disabling that now would break userspace, certainly Android that chooses alpha-everything. The VC4 HVS has no fixed planes so I'll acknowledge that the concept of a primary plane is somewhat dubious and userspace could disable it or make it not cover the entire screen, making this ineffective. But then ultimately there doesn't seem to be a standard for what the display is supposed to be if you have transparent pixels with no plane to blend to below. This helps in the common case, the belts&braces fix would be to enable the VC4 HVS background color fill incurring a fixed overhead that in most cases is wasted because the composition ends up being opaque.
