Yes, but I still see cases when crtc_state is NULL, thus
making crtc_state->enable to fail

Please see the patch under test attached (I believe it is what you mean,
with the only change that
     if (!plane_state->visible) {
         *if (crtc_state)*
             WARN_ON(crtc_state->enable);
         return 0;
     }
check is used).

So, it seems that crtc_state can still be NULL if 
"!plane_state->visible" making
NULL pointer dereference, so we need a check for that.
Yet, !plane_state->visible && crtc_state->enable makes WARN_ON to fire
always. So, probably we may want removing it.
