[PATCH 1/2] drm: Fix dirtyfb stalls

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

drm_atomic_helper_dirtyfb() will end up stalling for vblank on "video
mode" type displays, which is pointless and unnecessary.  Add an
optional helper vfunc to determine if a plane is attached to a CRTC
that actually needs dirtyfb, and skip over them.
