The primary plane will alwyas exist (drm_crtc_init() will create
one for the old drivers that don't do it explicitly). So you
should be able to convert radeon as well. And looks like some
pre-dc amdgpu stuff is in a similar situation.

That should presumably allow the old flag to be removed entirely?
Hmm, I suppose drm_getcap() would need a bit of work to eg. go
through all the planes to see if any of them support async flips.
