There might be a slightly better place to handle this; see comment
below.

As Hans pointed out, this doesn't look right.  I'm guessing you're
trying to guard against the case where there's no intersection between
the starting pipe usage and the final pipe usage?  E.g., only pipe A
active before commit, only pipe B active after commit, and you're
worried there might be a brief point where both A and B are on together?
I don't think this should really matter since we power everything
old-changing down before powering anything new-changing up.  So I think
all we really need to care about for enabling/disabling is how many
CRTC's there are in the final state.

It seems like a more natural place to place to handle enable/disable
would be in the 'if (intel_state->modeset)' blocks of
intel_atomic_commit_tail() (since only a modeset operation could change
the number of CRTC's in use to trigger a SAGV toggle).  That also has
the slight benefit of only getting run once for the atomic transaction
rather than once for each CRTC (and you can just do a simple test of
hweight(intel_state->active_crtcs) to figure out how many CRTC's are
going to be on after the transaction completes.

Minor style nitpick; if either branch of an if/else needs braces, they
both need braces.

You've got a few uses of 0x1 as a magic number that are correct, but
seem counterintuitive to someone not looking at the bspec (1=off).
Maybe replacing these with a #define might help clarify slightly?
