The DRM core recognizes three types of planes:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
DRM_PLANE_TYPE_PRIMARY represents a "main" plane for a CRTC. Primary
planes are the planes operated upon by by CRTC modesetting and flipping
operations described in <xref linkend="drm-kms-crtcops"/>.
</listitem>
<listitem>
DRM_PLANE_TYPE_CURSOR represents a "cursor" plane for a CRTC. Cursor
planes are the planes operated upon by the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR and
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR2 ioctls.
</listitem>
<listitem>
DRM_PLANE_TYPE_OVERLAY represents all non-primary, non-cursor planes.
Some drivers refer to these types of planes as "sprites" internally.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
For compatibility with legacy userspace, only overlay planes are made
available to userspace by default. Userspace clients may set the
DRM_CLIENT_CAP_UNIVERSAL_PLANES client capability bit to indicate that
they wish to receive a universal plane list containing all plane types.

</para>
<para>
Cursor and overlay planes are optional. All drivers should provide
one primary plane per CRTC (although this requirement may change in
the future); drivers that do not wish to provide special handling for
primary planes may make use of the helper functions described in
<xref linkend="drm-kms-planehelpers"/> to create and register a
primary plane with standard capabilities.
