Since you rename plane_state->fence to in_fence (why exactly?) this breaks
compilation for imx and msm. Also there's the question of which fence
should win, if there's both explicit and implicit fences. I think the best
way to solve that is by adding a helper to set the implicit fence, which
drivers are supposed to call. That helper only sets the fence if there's
not yet an explicit fence attached. New sequence would be:

- patch1: roll out that helper (e.g. drm_atomic_plane_state_set_fence or
whatever) for all drivers using it.
- patch2 (this one here): add explicit fences and change the helper to
cooporate correctly.

I think it'd be good to move the kerneldoc into an in-line comment here
and expand a bit upon the expected semantics. This is a pretty important
part of the atomic uabi!

Otherwise looks all good.
