But there are no overlay planes in this driver, are there?

What I want to get at is that it might be preferable to remove ARGB 
entirely from the primary plane if it does not to serve a purpose. But 
if the driver can do something useful with these formats, it might be 
worth exposing that instead.

In pl111, we now remove the ARGB foramts because the hardware does not 
handle them at all. The situation seems less clear in verisilicon.
