We need to have zpos information for all planes that we're using in order for zpos to be at all meaningful, and we can't exactly avoid using the primary plane. Without knowing the primary plane's zpos, we can't know if the overlays are actually overlays or in fact underlays. > The DRM core offers support for immutable zpos properties.

We support immutable properties entirely well, we just need to know about them. > Reported-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Daniel Stone <daniels@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cheers, Daniel
