I've checked the code, and I think the memory for [plane/connector/crtc]
states that are used later in duplicate/destroy are allocated in drm_atomic_helper_*_reset. 
Otherwise checking /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/state or running the igt
tests causes null pointer dereference error.

Sure, I'll work on that.
