Well, it fixes the WARN_ON, which asserts that either no planes have
the zpos property attached, or all planes have the zpos property
attached. When only _some_ planes have the property, the property is
pretty much useless: zpos exists to guarantee to userspace the
relative ordering between planes, defined by the value of the
property. If not all planes have the property, then userspace cannot
reason about the ordering, since some of the planes have undefined
ordering.
Cheers,
Daniel
