Hm, how exactly do legacy DPMS setprop blow up here? Or at least I can't
come up with a scenario that's specific to legacy props, atomic should be
equally affected. By the time we land in this code, the core code already
remapping it to be purely an atomic update.

Another thought: Should we handle at least some of this in the probe
helpers? I.e. once you unplugged a drm_connector, it always shows
disconnected and mode list is gone, instead of duplicating this over all
drivers. We could just check connector->registered.

Thanks, Daniel
