Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your review!

So, the function already had a variable named old_state, so I was
actually trying to make the drivers consistent here: having one variable
with old_state and new_plane_state felt weird.

The heuristic is thus to use the convention of the driver if one exists
already, and if there's none pick new_plane_state.

It makes it indeed inconsistent across drivers, but it felt more natural
to be consistent within a single driver.
