I'm rather unhappy that we're ending up with a function taking soo many
arguments.

Most of these have to be stacked on ARM, and I'm guessing most
architectures end up doing something similar.  Is there a reason why we
don't pass pointers to drm_rect's or maybe even consider passing the
drm_plane_state structure in?

I've found that, when cleaning up these code paths in armada, that
storing all the parameters into a drm_plane_state and then validating
it with drm_plane_helper_check_state() is by way the simplest solution,
and of course, it's forward-compatible with atomic modeset.
