I think I misunderstood this point. I had assumed that
drm_atomic_get_*_state() was only needed for the state object directly
matching the helper callback, for example crtc_state in
*_crtc_helper_atomic_enable() and plane_state in
*_plane_helper_atomic_update(), while other state could be accessed via
the device-private structure.

>From your explanation, I see that this is wrong. In the atomic commit
path, any state associated with the current commit should be obtained
through drm_atomic_get_*_state(), because the object’s ->state may
already refer to a later commit.

This affects other patches in the series as well, and some drivers may
need additional fixes in internal helpers too, e.g. arc_pgu_set_pxl_fmt()
in arcpgu.c [1].

I will audit the full series and fix such cases in the next version.

Best regards
