What about other references to state->allow_modeset in DM code ? You 
have one inĀ  dm_determine_update_type_for_commit which will actually 
cause you to assume fast update because of state->allow_modeset == false.
Also - what about other types of plane updates which are more drastic 
(require full update) but will also have different FB, can't you wrongly 
assume they require page flip while it's actually needs 
commit_planes_to_stream ?
