Well, IIUC, there are two kinds of clipping. 1) Clipping a rectangle from a fb according to src_x/y and src_w/h. 2) Clipping done by drm_plane_helper_check_state(), which potentially changes src/dst->x1/2 and src/dst->y1/2(in other words, src_x/y, src_w/h and crtc_x/y/w/h, though not directly). 1) is fine, no problem. I doubt 2) is wrong as the users' original request could be changed. That's why I mentioned returning -EINVAL. Moreover, before and after applying the patch, I think the ->atomic_check behavior consistency is broken. For example, negative crtc_x or crtc_y for overlay are changed from unacceptable to potentially acceptable just because 2) may change their equivalent dst_>x/y1.
