Got it, thanks the clarification -- I see your point.
I'm already setting plane_state->pixel_source to FB in
__drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset() and it seems to me that all drivers
are calling that within their respective plane_funcs->reset().
Since (as far as I know) reset() is being called for both the atomic and
non-atomic paths, shouldn't that be enough to default pixel_source to FB
for old userspace?
Thanks,
