Makes sense. Another thing I realized: Since src rect are 16.16 fixed
point, do we really need s32? drm_clip_rect is a bit meh, but it gives us
s16 already. That would avoid having to sprinkle the code with tons of
overflow checks for input validation.

On the topic of input validation: Should the kernel check in shared code
that all the clip rects are sensible, i.e. within the dimensions of the
fb? Relying on drivers for that seems like a bad idea.

That could be done in core code in drm_atomic_plane_check().
