Oops, should check harder before I hit send. You can disable a crtc with planes attached, but the clip
will be bogus in that case. When !crtc->enable the clip will be set { 0, 0, 0, 0 }, hiding the plane.

There's still no need for can_update_disabled in the atomic world though, the plane state will be properly recalculated during a modeset.
If you don't want to update a plane while a crtc is disabled, just don't update it in your commit function.
