Currently, private CRTC state(priv_crtc_state) is not get used by the cursor's
atomic_check() and atomic_update(). I means this is only for the primary plane.
And both and the primary and the cursor using  XRGB8888 format, what I really
want here is let the atomic_update to update the framebuffer's format, because
the firmware (pmon) of some board set the framebuffer's format as RGB565.
If the hardware's format is same with the plane state, then there is no need to
update the FB's format register, save a function call, right?

When the plane is disabled the drm core will call the atomic_disable() function, right?

I will reconsider this, thank for your advice and i will correct other problems
at the next version. Thanks for you take time review my patch again.
