I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here.  Initially an
atomic state (transaction) is empty, and all mode objects have a
currently-committed state, but no new state associated with this
specific transaction.  If userspace requests a modeset on CRTC-A (e.g.,
master), that will add CRTC-A to the drm_atomic_state, but won't
automatically add CRTC-B (slave).  CRTC B's committed state does indeed
indicate that it's part of a port-sync pair, but it won't get iterated
over in the loop above because it still hasn't been added with an
explicit drm_atomic_get_crtc_state().  So we'll never set mode_changed
on CRTC-B as far as I can see because nothing ever brought it into the
transaction (the only place where we bring in new CRTCs in this patch is
when handling the tiles).

I'd still like to see either a commit message note or a code comment
justifying this.  The instructions say we need to re-invoke that
function in cases like what we're doing here, so if we're intentionally
not following those directions we should explain why for future
reference.  It's also possible that function may expand its role in the
future and start doing something new that we really do need to worry
about, so it would be good to have the history and justification for not
calling it documented.
