Sorry for taking so long to do some review for this.

Could you add a comment here like:
/* Don't do an async update if there is an outstanding commit modifying
* the plane. This prevents our async update's changes from getting
* overridden by a previous synchronous update's state.
*/
(assuming I understand its intent correctly)
I don't understand KMS locking enough to say if this loop is actually
safely guaranteeing that. If you're convinced of that, then with my
little cleanups this patch will be:

Is there a simple list of what parts of drm_plane_state may change in
this hook? I noticed that vc4 wasn't checking that the format doesn't
change, for example. I'm also not sure if we're guaranteed that the
plane-is-enabled state isn't changing, either.
If it's "everything", we'll need to improve the vc4 async check before
we expose this under anything but the cursor ioctl.
