Fwiw, this is fixing a bug in rotation:

> -static bool needs_vblank_wait(struct intel_crtc_state *crtc_state)
> -{
> -       /* fb updated, need to unpin old fb */
> -       if (crtc_state->fb_changed)
> -               return true;

is insufficient as the fb may be unchanged but a new vma allocated for
the rotated pages.
