The code for those seems a bit inconsistent. The crtc check requires
that the crtc state and plane state match. But the plane check allows
the plane to be enabled w/o the crtc being enabled. I guess it doesn't
matter really since you can't enable the plane without a crtc, and the
crtc check would then catch the case where the crtc would be disabled.

Oh and looks like drm_plane_helper_check_state() is a bit buggy. It
still uses crtc->enabled instead of crtc_state->enable to check the
state of the crtc. I guess to keep drm_plane_helper_check_update()
working we may have to pass in the crtc state manually.

The vmwgfx plane check looks a bit bogus in other ways too. I guess
I'll have to fire off a couple of patches.

It would serve as a way to document that fact, even without the comment.
But I won't insist on it.

Oh well. I guess people just have to be careful with their error
values. I suppoe anyone depending on the retry will notice this
issue rather quickly.
