Plus related hooks used to do atomic plane updates since they only
really make sense as a package.

+	 * When using drm_atomic_helper_check_planes CRTC's ->atomic_check()
+	 * hooks are called after the ones for palnes, which allows drivers to
+	 * assign shared resources requested by planes in the CRTC callback
+	 * here. For more complicated depencies the driver can call the provided
+	 * check helpers multiple times until the computed state has a final
+	 * configuration and everything has been checked.
+	 *
+	 * This function is also allowed to inspect any other object's state and
+	 * can add more state objects to the atomic commit if needed. Care must
+	 * be taken though to ensure that state check&compute functions for
