With atomic plane states we are able to track an allocation right from preparation, during use and through to the final free after being swapped out for a new plane. We can couple the VMA we pin for the framebuffer (and its rotation) to this lifetime and avoid all the clumsy lookups in between. This is marked for rc6 because it seems the issue is triggerable on mainline and resulting in an oops. The backport also requires a preparation patch, which is required because otherwise the vma is not always populated and then we dereference a null pointer.
