I'm not convinced this should be cc: stable, seems more in the improvement
category than a bug fix.

Perhaps add "current" before plane state and then after add "(&drm_plane.state)"
so it's more clear what you're referring to here?

I'd change this bit to:
* This is required since cleanup for async commits is performed on
* the new state, rather than old state like for traditional commits.
* Since we want to give up the reference on the current (old) fb instead
* of our brand new one, swap them in the driver during the async commit.
