[PATCH v3 10/11] drm: Use state helper instead of the plane state pointer

[Stephen Boyd]

Trimming Cc list way down, sorry if that's too much.

Does this mean drm_atomic_helper_swap_state()?

This is oopsing for me. It turns out that 'new_state' is NULL. According
to the comments drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() can return NULL if the
plane isn't part of the global state. I haven't looked much further but
wanted to report it here in case that type of return value makes sense.

If I revert this patch from linux-next my display works and doesn't
crash the system. Or I can check for NULL in the if below and it also
works.
