Basically, enabling planes and making them fully functional is
generally a 2 -step process,
so i suggest for new drivers wanting to implement/re-design  planes,
would like to tap
the flow at enabling(listing caps) and later at ensuring it works.
I noticed that there is a underlying assumption only for
plane->(funcs) are implemented, whereas for
other function for crtc/connector/encoder function calls there is a
sanity check(or WARN_ON) through out the framework.

I believe this check wont cause any performance/functional impact.
Please let me know if am missing anything.
And further more help developers to focus on enabling planes via
various tests without causing reboots/system hangs.
