Hi Stefan,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm increasingly impressed by how featureful this IP core is :-)

Would it be more explict to check for !plane_state->fb ? Otherwise I'll
have to verify that !fb always implies !visible :-)

This holds on a single line.

I'd turn this into a dev_dbg(), printing error messages to the kernel
log in response to user-triggered conditions is a bit too verbose and
could flood the log.

Wouldn't it be best to catch this issue when creating the framebuffer ?
