    Patch drm/vc4: don't check if plane->state->fb == state->fb
  3. Compensating control

    If you have a drm/vc4 change that performs the check `plane->state->fb == state->fb`, avoid directly accessing `struct drm_plane .state` and use the `drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state()` helper instead to prevent the non-blocking commits refcount underflow/use-after-free warning.
