So, yeah, it looks like you can't make the assumption that crtc_state is
going to be valid here.

I'm not entirely clear on how bridge states are allocated, but it looks
to me that they are through drm_atomic_add_encoder_bridges, which is
called for all the affected connectors in a commit here:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c#L744

Then, the atomic_enable call is made through
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_enable(), which is called in
drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_enables only if the CRTC is active and
needs a modeset.

I guess this means that we won't have a null pointer for crtc_state
there, but wouldn't that cause some issues? I can imagine a property
like the bpc count or output format where it wouldn't imply a modeset
but would definitely affect the bridges in the chain?
