I've submitted a separate patch for the rcar-du which enables the alpha
property for the primary plane - and it incorporates a "Fixes:
161ad653d6c9 ("drm: rcar-du: Use __drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset
instead of copying the logic")" tag.

Technically that should be sufficient to get that fix into v4.19 I
believe ...

But if you feel that this patch should also be included - we could add
the same tag to this patch, and get it queued up for v4.19 fixes?
