Userspace has to be able to deal with this anyway because it can't make
any assumptions about what hardware supports underneath. A cursor on a
different platform may very well be stackable anywhere in the layout so
it must ensure that the cursor always has the highest zpos (provided
that that's what it wants). Immutable 255 basically just says that the
cursor is always going to be at the top. /If/ userspace then decides to
set some other plane's zpos = 255, then we're in the "undefined"
behaviour case that the documentation mentions, in which case the
behaviour on Tegra would still be sane in showing the cursor on top.
So I don't think there's really an issue with the overlap.
