I was referring to using state->src.x1 etc. Using src_x/y will cause you
to scan out the wrong stuff if the plane top/left edge got clipped.
And as a side note: drivers are not even allowed to muck with src_x/y
etc. because that would corrupt the state that user has set up.

Yeah, something that either returns the remaining intra-tile x/y
offsets, or the tile aligned x/y offsets and lets the driver deal
with the remainder in whatever way is appropriate (which could even
be -EINVAL in case the hw can't simply handle it). The latter being
pretty much how i915 does things.
