In order to not change the behavior, VPE would assume that NV12 format for
instance were always sent as 2 separate planes buffers. So for backward
compatibility this is order to handle both cases where NV12 could be
handled as both a single plane and a dual plane buffers based on what the
user space application intent on passing in/out.
