I don’t think the name is the problem per se, but the fact that I’d expect a `create_objects` function
to return them, which it doesn’t. What you have is a function that returns Result, and it’s a bit unclear
how it’s related to `Crtc` or `Plane`.

If you add some more documentation explaining how this works in more detail, that will probably be enough.
