I've done a lot of history digging. The first signs of this
optimization was introduced in i915:

drm/i915: pin sprite fb only if it changed
without much justification. Pinning already pinned stuff is real cheap
(it's just obj->pin_count++ really), and the missing implicit sync was
entirely forgotten about it seems. It's at least not mentioned
anywhere it the commit message.
It was also promptly removed shortly afterwards in

drm/i915: Move to atomic plane helpers (v9)
again without really mentioning the side-effect that plane updates
with the same fb now again obey implicit syncing.
Note that this only ever applied to the plane_update hook, all other
legacy entry points (set_base, page_flip) always obeyed implicit sync
in the drm/i915 driver.
The real source of this code here seems to be msm, copied to vc4, then
copied to tinydrm. I've also tried to dig around in all available msm
sources, but the corresponding check for fb != old_fb is present ever
since the initial merge in

drm/msm: atomic core bits
The only older version I've found of msm atomic code predates the
atomic helpers, and so didn't even use any of this. It also does not
have a corresponding check (because it simply did no implicit sync at
all).
I've chatted with Rob on irc, and he didn't remember the reason for
this either.
Note we had epic amounts of fun with too much syncing against
_vblank_, especially around cursor updates. But I don't ever
discussing a need for less syncing against implicit fences.
Also note that explicit fencing allows you to sidetrack all of this,
at least for all the drivers correctly implemented using
drm_atomic_set_fence_for_plane().
Given that it seems to be an accident of history, and that big drivers
like i915 (and also nouveau it seems, I didn't follow the
amdgpu/radeon sync code to figure this out properly there) never have
done it, let's remove this.

There's nothing tinydrm specific to this, and there's a few more
copies of the same in various other drivers.

Make the drm_framebuffer_funcs argument optional for drivers that
don't need to set the dirty callback.

GEM lookup failure can easily be triggered by userspace so make
it a debug message, not an error message.
Also remove unnecessary inner parentheses and fix alphabetical
struct declaration order.

This library provides helpers for drivers that don't subclass
drm_framebuffer and are backed by drm_gem_object. The code is
taken from drm_fb_cma_helper.
