Typo - 'crtc' typed twice.
update_output_state which is called before _helper_check_modeset() also
adds all affected connectors. Why is that not considered when you say
affected connectors are added in Step 3? Is that because
update_output_state() is in the legacy modeset path?

I did not understand this part - "function may not be called at all on a
modeset or connector change". Why is that?

I had to read this a couple of times to understand, but I guess, that's
mostly me trying to piece things together.
