You can look at vc4_plane.c if you want an example of how this helper
can be used to get clipped dimensions of the plane.

Yes, and I must admit I'm not actively maintaining the driver, so there
are probably a few other things we could simplify by using generic
helpers.

I don't think so, but you can simply disable the plane when ->visible
is false.
