The static analysis from coverity on linux-next suggested that there was
an array overflow as follows:

108 static void kmb_plane_atomic_disable(struct drm_plane *plane,
109                                     struct drm_plane_state *state)
110 {

   1. Condition 0 /* !!(!__builtin_types_compatible_p() &&
!__builtin_types_compatible_p()) */, taking false branch.

111        struct kmb_plane *kmb_plane = to_kmb_plane(plane);

   2. assignment: Assigning: plane_id = kmb_plane->id.

112        int plane_id = kmb_plane->id;
113        struct kmb_drm_private *kmb;
114
115        kmb = to_kmb(plane->dev);
116

   3. Switch case value LAYER_3.

117        switch (plane_id) {
118        case LAYER_0:
119                kmb->plane_status[plane_id].ctrl = LCD_CTRL_VL1_ENABLE;
120                break;
121        case LAYER_1:

   (#2 of 4): Out-of-bounds write (OVERRUN)

122                kmb->plane_status[plane_id].ctrl = LCD_CTRL_VL2_ENABLE;
123                break;
124        case LAYER_2:

   (#3 of 4): Out-of-bounds write (OVERRUN)

125                kmb->plane_status[plane_id].ctrl = LCD_CTRL_GL1_ENABLE;
126                break;

   4. equality_cond: Jumping to case LAYER_3.

127        case LAYER_3:

   (#1 of 4): Out-of-bounds write (OVERRUN)
   5. overrun-local: Overrunning array kmb->plane_status of 1 8-byte
elements at element index 3 (byte offset 31) using index plane_id (which
evaluates to 3).

128                kmb->plane_status[plane_id].ctrl = LCD_CTRL_GL2_ENABLE;
129                break;
130        }
131

   (#4 of 4): Out-of-bounds write (OVERRUN)

132        kmb->plane_status[plane_id].disable = true;
133 }
134

So it seems the assignments to  kmb->plane_status[plane_id] are
overrunning the array since plane_status is allocated as 1 element and
yet plane_id can be 0..3

I could be misunderstanding this, or it may be a false positive.
