Yep. Previous to that call in drm_atomic_helper_commit, plane->state is
the state currently programmed in the hardware, so the old state (that's
the case you have with atomic_check for example)
Once drm_atomic_helper_swap_state has run, plane->state is now the state
that needs to be programmed into the hardware, so the new state.

Yeah, it can return NULL, but in this case I'm not really sure how we
could end up with a plane_state that isn't in the global state, but
somehow with the associated plane atomic_update call being run :/
