Well I was thinking of a helper to compute a single, overall clip rect for
the entire crtc. Which would then also need to take into account various
plane state changes, and stuff like background color. For a simple
coordinate system transform iterators sound like a good idea, but honestly
I don't expect that to be a common use-case in drivers. Either it's about
uploading the right dirty data in each plane, or about uploading the right
final/blended pixels to the screen (in which case all other state changes
that can affect colors must be taken into account too).
