Very strictly speaking this is possible if you have special hw and genlocked CRTCs. In general switching a plane between two active CRTC just won't work so well and is probably not tested at all. Just forbid it.
I've put this into the core since right now no helper or driver copes with it, no userspace has code for it and no one asks for it. Yes there's piles of corner-cases where this would be possible to do this like:
- switch from inactive crtc to active crtc
- swithc from active crtc to inactive crtc
- genlocked display
- invisible plane (to do whatever)
- idle plane hw due to dsi cmd mode/psr
- whatever
but looking at details it's not that easy to implement this correctly. Hence just put it into the core and add a comment, since the only userspace we have right now for atomic (weston) doesn't want to use direct plane switching either.
I suspect that eventually we'll want to make this a helper exposed to drivers and push this check down into the drivers.. perhaps that is not until weston (and/or atomic based hwc) grows driver specific userspace plugin type API to make smarter hw specific decisions.. until then, this is probably the most reasonable thing to do.. so
Yeah this really is just to plug a "undefined behaviour" gap in the abi until we know what exactly we want and have some userspace needing this.

Fixed&merged to drm-misc, thanks for the review. -Daniel
v2: don't bother with complexity and just outright disallow plane switching without the intermediate OFF state. Simplifies drivers, we don't have any hw that could do it anyway and current atomic userspace (weston) works like this already anyway.
v3: Bikeshed function name (Ville) and add comment (Rob).
v4: Also bikeshed commit message (Rob).

Imo this is bikeshedded enough, so either someone takes this or someone else can mangle this patch more.
