[PATCH 3/3] drm/ast: Disable cursor while switching display modes

[Thomas Zimmermann]

The ast's HW cursor requires the primary plane and CRTC to display
at a correct 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 HW cursors while
the mode switch takes place. It also synchronizes with the vertical
refresh to give HW cursor and primary plane some time to catch up on
each other.
