Originally based on work by Rob Herring, this patch changes
ValidateDisplay() so that if there is only one plane, we modify
Device composited layers to be Client composited.

Without this, on devices with just one plane, nothing gets
displayed on the screen.

Suggestions for alternative solutions here would be greatly
appreciated!

This needs to be conditional on GL compositing being disabled (either
thru init failure or a property flag). Also, this can be generalized
to use as many planes as we have. Something like the following patch.

BTW, "gl_enabled" doesn't exist. I left that for you to figure out how
to set and propagate.
