I always assumed the state was zero-allocated, not copied, and int his
case this wouldn't be a problem... Thanks for pointing this to me.
I'll move it up. Can't move up further since we need plane_state-
>visible to be set.

It's been confirmed to me many times that if a plane is being
committed, its CRTC is included in the atomic commit. Was this what you
were talking aboue? Can you give me an example where we wouldn't have a
CRTC?
