That's not the point. As state can be NULL, you could end up
dereferencing a NULL pointer. The fact that the base state is the first
field in the rcar_du_crtc_state structure is just luck, and shouldn't be
relied on.

It's not, the return value of kzalloc() is checked explicitly in
rcar_du_plane_reset() before calling __drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset().
Please copy the code flow of rcar_du_plane_reset() to implement
rcar_du_crtc_reset().
