It's kind of the point I was trying to make: plane->state is the current
state of the plane, but it's definitely ambiguous and it's fairly easy
to be confused when working over several hooks.

No, but it does change the plane->state pointer: before swap_state it's
the old state, after swap_state it's the new state

Well, to be fair, the variable is only called "state" before this series
and it's one of the previous patch that renames it to new_state and
makes it a more obvious.

Otherwise, state = plane->state is fairly confusing and error-prone.
With that change you would make it really obvious

I guess you're better at remembering this than I am then :)

The discussion on whether it's more obvious or not aside, accessing the
->state pointer directly has some culprits, see:
