Gah, I missed that. I wonder how this compile warning doesn't show up for me.

Unfortunately that's not enough, because the plane atomic state handlers
that were introduced in that commit are broken so removing the macro will
regress the driver.

I've posted a patch that drops the macro but also fixes the handlers for
the driver to work with the custom callbacks:
