Further up I suggest that @atomic_disable should take priority over
all the others (plus explain why @disable is lower than @prepare,
because of the special semantics this has in legacy crtc helpers).
Once you do that you also need to adjust the wording in the kerneldoc
here (same wording as in @atomic_enable sounds good to me), i.e.
explain that @atomic_disable takes priority over all other hooks.
