Hi,

Enabling DRM debugging doesn't seem to provide much in the way of clues:

With a bit more debugging, this is what's failing:

ipu_plane_atomic_check:442: fail
[drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config] *ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:24:crtc-0]

        if (old_fb && (state->src_w != old_state->src_w ||
                              state->src_h != old_state->src_h ||
                              fb->pixel_format != old_fb->pixel_format)) {
                printk("%s:%d: fail\n", __func__, __LINE__);
                return -EINVAL;
        }

This test is stupid as it stands - it means we can _never_ change the
format or size of _any_ plane, something that the old code allowed:

-       if (ipu_plane->enabled) {
-               if (src_w != ipu_plane->w || src_h != ipu_plane->h ||
-                   fb->pixel_format != ipu_plane->base.fb->pixel_format)
-                       return -EINVAL;

This used to work because we'd call ipu_crtc_prepare()->ipu_fb_disable()
before the mode set, which would clear ipu_plane->enabled, causing this
test to be skipped.  However, in the new code, we merely test for the
presence of the previous framebuffer, which is really not the same thing
at all.

The old functionality needs to be restored because significantly
changing the displayed mode is something which must be supported with
HDMI.

Thanks.
