This might require additional changes. First, for the STAGE_BASE pipe 
in the source split mode (iow using two LMs) should programmed with 
respect to the right LM's x offset (rather than usual left top-left LM). 
See  mdss_mdp_pipe_position_update().

Also this might need some interaction with CTL_MIXER_BORDER_OUT being 
set or not. If I remember correctly, if there bottom plane is not 
fullscreen or if there are no planes at all, we should set 
CTL_MIXER_BORDER_OUT (which takes STAGE_BASE) and start assigning them 
from STAGE0. If not, we can use STAGE_BASE.
