I have rephrased the last sentence of the commit message in the 
following way. Hopefully it will be cleaner now:

This way all the pipes used by the plane
will have a common layout instance (as the framebuffer is shared between
them), while still keeping a separate src/dst rectangle configuration
for each pipe.
