The rule is drm_atomic_state->plane[i] != NULL iff
drm_atomic_state->plane_state != NULL. So you can check either of them
for the same result. But you still need to check one of them,
otherwise all the loops in drivers and helpers will oops. Not sure why
you want to remove that check, your driver had the equivalent (which I
removed) too.
