Another bool just to check if one bool changed seems a bit excessive.
Is there a reason you can't directly check if the other bool changed?

Actually I don't understand why this per-crtc thing is being added at
all. You already have the prop on the connector. Why do we want to
make life more difficult by requiring the thing to be set on both the
crtc and connector?
