I would like this patch to be cherry-picked to kernel 6.11 easily, so let this patch base on 6.12-rc1.

MT8173 does not support ignore pixel alpha, so OVL_CON_AEN would be disabled for XRGB.
And this is not related to plane alpha, so plane alpha setting should be moved out of here.

This modification is not related to the bug fix, so separate to another patch.
