atomic_update will be called each time the plane state is changed, so it
won't be an issue: when the first state will be committed, your
atomic_update function will be called and thus you'll overwrite what was
left of the firmware setup.

My point was more about the fact that you're using the wrong abstraction
there. The format is a property of the plane, not from the CRTC. In KMS
(and in most drivers), you can have multiple planes with different
formats all attached to the same CRTC just fine.
