[PATCH 3/6] drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset

[Daniel Vetter]

Atm the crtc helper implementation of set_config has really
inconsisten semantics: If just an fb update is good enough, dpms state
will be left as-is, but if we do a full modeset we force everything to
dpms on.

This change has already been applied to the i915 modeset code in

    drm/i915: force full modeset if the connector is in DPMS OFF mode

which according to Greg KH seems to aim for a new record in most
Bugzilla: links in a commit message.

The history of this dpms forcing is pretty interesting. This patch
here is an almost-revert of

    drm: Only set DPMS ON when actually configuring a mode

which fixed the bug of trying to dpms on disabled outputs, but
introduced the new discrepancy between an fb update only and full
modesets. The actual introduction of this goes back to

    drm: Set connector DPMS status to ON in drm_crtc_helper_set_config

And if you'd dig around in the i915 driver code there's even more fun
around forcing dpms on and losing our heads and temper of the
resulting inconsistencies. Especially the DP re-training code had tons
of funny stuff in it.
