This patch is based on the upstream commit 5ac1c4bcf0 and amended
for v4.2 to make sure it works as intended.
Repeated calls to begin_crtc_commit can cause warnings like this:

Solve it by using the newly introduced drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc.
The problem here was that the drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes() helper
we were using was basically designed to do
begin_crtc_commit(crtc #1)
begin_crtc_commit(crtc #2)
...
commit all planes
finish_crtc_commit(crtc #1)
finish_crtc_commit(crtc #2)
The problem here is that since our hardware relies on vblank evasion,
our CRTC 'begin' function waits until we're out of the danger zone in
which register writes might wind up straddling the vblank, then disables
interrupts; our 'finish' function re-enables interrupts after the
registers have been written. The expectation is that the operations between
'begin' and 'end' must be performed without sleeping (since interrupts
are disabled) and should happen as quickly as possible. By clumping all
of the 'begin' calls together, we introducing a couple problems:
* Subsequent 'begin' invocations might sleep (which is illegal)
* The first 'begin' ensured that we were far enough from the vblank that
we could write our registers safely and ensure they all fell within
the same frame. Adding extra delay waiting for subsequent CRTC's
wasn't accounted for and could put us back into the 'danger zone' for
CRTC #1.
This commit solves the problem by using a new helper that allows an
order of operations like:
for each crtc {
begin_crtc_commit(crtc) // sleep (maybe), then disable interrupts
commit planes for this specific CRTC
end_crtc_commit(crtc) // reenable interrupts
}
so that sleeps will only be performed while interrupts are enabled and
we can be sure that registers for a CRTC will be written immediately
once we know we're in the safe zone.
The crtc->config->base.crtc update may seem unrelated, but the helper
will use it to obtain the crtc for the state. Without the update it
will dereference NULL and crash.
