Digged a bit more, seems crtc_state->*_changed is cleared after modeset
so the following plane update wouldn't see it.  Which I think means
there is no way around tracking that in need_update.

output->enabled is probably not needed though, seems I can replace that
by either output->crtc.state->enable or ->active.  Not fully sure which
one, probably ->active.

take care,
