It's such a mess that it's become a FAQ :(

+Clean up the clipped coordination confusion around planes
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+We have a helper to get this right with drm_plane_helper_check_update(), but
+it's not consistently used. This should be fixed, preferrably in the atomic
+helpers (and drivers then moved over to clipped coordinates). Probably the
+helper should also be moved from drm_plane_helper.c to the atomic helpers, to
+avoid confusion - the other helpers in that file are all deprecated legacy
+helpers.
