[PATCH RFC] drm/atomic: Fall back to legacy call back in *_connector_dpms()

Fall back to legacy drm_helper_connector_dpms() call back in
drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms() if DRIVER_ATOMIC feature is not
present.

Calling drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms() from non atomic driver
causes undefined behavior. This is a problem with componentized
encoder/connector drivers that may be bound to both atomic and
non atomic drivers.

This is just an alternative to this:

Either one of the patches should be taken for Beaglebone-black, or any
other non atomic driver using tda998x, to work.
