Nah it's not buggy, it's intentional. Most hw can update formats in a flip
withouth having to shut down the hw to do so.

The above two if checks should never fail, I'd wrap them in a WARN_ON.

Hm that entire ast_state->format machinery looks kinda strange, can't you
just look up the primary plane state everywhere and that's it?
drm_framebuffer are fully invariant and refcounted to the state, so there
really shouldn't be any need to copy format around.
But that's maybe for a next patch. With the commit message clarified that
everything works as designed, and maybe the two WARN_ON added:
