Do you mean here crtc or crtc_state ?

Also the client code both in nouveau and AMD/DAL iterates over new planes and their new states
so it seems to me easier to retrieve the parameter from the plane_state and not adding loop
to find matching crtc or its  state, especially if it's before drm_atomic_helper_swap_state is called,
 when crtc->state still points to the old state ...
