What does ASYNC flip mean?  HW flip as soon as possible and result in tearing on screen?  If so I could imaging some use case where you have some UI control/menu overlay on top, and some game running on a underlay plane, and the game want to be able to flip as soon as possible.  Or Daniel do you think ASYNC property will apply to all planes in CRTC?
