huh, this indeed solves the NULL pointer dereference, but floods a lot
with every page flip I have, e.g. !plane_state->visible == true
and crtc_state is not NULL and crtc_state->enable == true,
thus firing WARN_ON.
Is this something wrong with my use-case/driver or it is still legal
to have such a configuration and leave it without WARN_ON and just
return 0?
