Since you're not going to call drm_plane_helper_check_state() you will
fail to update plane_state->visible.

What i915 does in this case is look for state->crtc first, and if that's
NULL it'll pick the crtc from the old state (plane->state->crtc). It
looks a bit ugly, but maybe we should hide it in a small helper function
that could be used by all drivers?
