Virtual wide planes give high amount of flexibility, but it is not always enough: In parallel multirect case only the half of the usual width is supported for tiled formats. Thus the whole width of two tiled multirect rectangles can not be greater than max_linewidth, which is not enough for some platforms/compositors. Another example is as simple as wide YUV plane. YUV planes can not use multirect, so currently they are limited to max_linewidth too. Now that the planes are fully virtualized, add support for allocating two SSPP blocks to drive a single DRM plane. This fixes both mentioned cases and allows all planes to go up to 2*max_linewidth (at the cost of making some of the planes unavailable to the user).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
