The official definition I think is:
CCS == color control surface

So in terms of modifier naming I suppose I tend to think
of it like this:
modifier name has CCS -> color control surface is present
modifier name has CC -> clear color is present

But if we want to make the distinction somehow stronger I was
thinking maybe ccs_aux vs. ccs_cc. But dunno if that just ends up
being more confusing since AUX_DIST is also used for planar scanout
on skl/etc.

Or another way to make it more clear would be to drop the "ccs" part
from the is_ccs_cc_plane() or whatever. But is_cc_plane() is perhaps
also pretty confusing. So could expand it to full on is_clear_color_plane()?
Shrug. Plenty of different color paint for this one available I think.
