Since we already have crtc_w/h independent of writeback_fb_w/h, do we need
another set of w/h? Are all the interactions between these tree
well-defined?

Atm I'm assuming that writeback is using crtc_w/h into the fb, at offset
0, not scaled any further. But the planes themselves can be scaled into
the crtc_w/h window ofc.

Iirc the hw supporting writeback thus far needs a dedicated crtc for
writeback, so adding yet another scaling window is not needed?
