Indeed this is a bug, and I didn't catch it because I couldn't test
connector stealing. Scenario:

Connector A is active on CRTC 0.

Userspace does a legacy setCrtc with connector A and CRTC 1.

-> We should steal the connector and disable CRTC 0 (since it doesn't have
any other connectors) completely. But because the helpers didn't pull in
the state for CRTC this doesn't happen.

Yup, otherwise helpers need to check for that. I'll fix both and all the
nits you've spotted, too.
