We need to use "drm/tidss: fix crash related to accessing freed memory" version.

I have fixed this with drm-misc's dim tool, so I presume the conflict goes away when drm-misc-fixes 
is merged to drm-fixes, and drm-fixes is then at some point merged to drm-misc-next.

It was a bit bad timing with the "drm/tidss: Use simple encoder", which removes the plumbing I 
needed to implement the fix. So I effectively revert the "drm/tidss: Use simple encoder".
