This happens because, although prepare_fb and cleanup_fb are
perfectly balanced, we cannot guarantee consistency in the check
plane->state->fb == state->fb. This means that sometimes we can increase
the refcount in prepare_fb and don’t decrease it in cleanup_fb. The
opposite can also be true.

In fact, the struct drm_plane .state shouldn’t be accessed directly
but instead, the drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() helper function should
be used. So, we could stick to this check, but using
drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state(). But actually, this check is not re
