Dunno. Feels like a wasted effort adding more code that'll just get
ripped out as soon as the atomic conversion happens. And I'd rather
not have to worry about potentially stale states hanging around, in
case you forgot to update something somewhere.

In any case, I don't think this is unwinding anything. Once you have
the atomic conversion done sufficiently you can just drop these
temporary states. We already have the temp state for the plane here
anyway, and pairing that with a crtc state seems rather logical.
