The current CRTC state reset hook in vc4 allocates a vc4_crtc_state
structure as a drm_crtc_state, and relies on the fact that vc4_crtc_state
embeds drm_crtc_state as its first member, and therefore can be safely
casted.

However, this is pretty fragile especially since there's no check for this
in place, and we're going to need to access vc4_crtc_state member at reset
so this looks like a good occasion to make it more robust.

Based on the issue I perceived with the previous patch, I'm happy. I
haven't thought about how the framework handles losing the state, but
that's not the driver's problem.

There is still an implicit assumption that drm_crtc_state is the first
member from the implementation of to_vc4_crtc_state in vc4_drv.h. To
make it even more robust that could be a container_of instead. I
haven't checked for any other places that make the assumption though.

Also your next atomic_check will probably look at this, most definitely in
the memcpy to take over the old state. So yeah KASAN should complain if
you get this wrong :-)

Probably want a Fixes: line for this too.

Good catch, I'll send another patch to fix it

Does it apply to the second patch as well?

Thanks!

No. I got another interrupt before I'd refreshed my memory over what
the second patch was doing and responding to it. I'll do that now (I
don't think it changed much from v1)

Applied 1 and 2, with the typo fixed (and the fixes tag suggested by Daniel)
