Should have thought of that my self. Extra plane.atomic_check() calls do
not do any actual harm, but they are potentially expensive. The planes
are really only needed there in the commit phase (crtc_enable() or
flush()). Well, I'll do my own mode_config.atomic_check() and call
drm_atomic_add_affected_planes() in a for_each_new_crtc_in_state()-loop
after all the checks.

Thanks,
Jyri
