[PATCH v3 2/4] drm/ast: Disable planes while switching display modes

[Thomas Zimmermann]

The ast HW cursor requires the primary plane and CRTC to display at
a valid mode and format. This is not the case while switching
display modes, which can lead to the screen turing permanently dark.

As a workaround, the ast driver now disables active planes while the
mode or format switch takes place. It also synchronizes with the vertical
refresh to give CRTC and planes some time to catch up on each other.
The active planes planes (primary or cursor) will be re-enabled by
each plane's atomic_update() function.

v3:
	* move the logic into the CRTC's atomic_disable function
v2:
	* move the logic into the commit-tail function
