Yes, which is the goal of this patch since page flip with a new framebuffer
attached to a plane plus damage information can't be supported by drivers
that do per-buffer uploads.

This was causing some weston and wlroots to have flickering artifacts, due
the framebuffers being changed since the last plane update.

For now it was decided with Sima, Simon and Pekka that is the best we can
do and the reason why I add a TODO in patch #6.
