So I think I see what is going on.. the issue is the CRTC has changed,
but not the plane, so there is no new-state for the plane.

But dpu_crtc_atomic_flush() iterates over all the attached planes,
calling dpu_plane_restore() which leads into
dpu_plane_atomic_update().. this is kinda dpu breaking the rules..
