Check crtc_state->enable, skip if false. That's the "is this pipeline
configured" knob. For plane/connector it's state->crtc, but with the same
role.
I guess we could check that in the helpers, but we need to be careful to
still call ->atomic_check for the disabling transition, in case userspace
is asking for a vblank-synced flip that disables a plane but somehow
that's not possible. I somewhat prefer to handle that all in drivers
though.
