Yes, all users (of plane->fb = fb) are. The above is for
plane_state->fb.

I wasn't sure about adding comments to struct drm_plane, I thought the
crtc/fb there was just a crutch for !atomic.

But adding
+
+       /**
+        * @fb:
+        *
+        * Currently active framebuffer. Do not write this directly, use
+        * drm_plane_set_fb()
+        */
        struct drm_framebuffer * const fb;

is not a hardship.
