I've seen this posted before.

The reason why there is an 'else' branch here is that both branches 
handle the state returned by the function call above, 
drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state(). First it does an error check, and 
then it tests for >visible. In both cases, the plane's atomic_check 
should return. And only if we have a valid and visible plane, we do the 
actual checks on the plane. Conceptually, these if-else cases belong 
together and signal an early-out from the call.

I'd prefer to keep the drivers as they are.

Best regards
Thomas
