[PATCH v2 8/8] drm/ast: Avoid reprogramming primary-plane scanout address

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Some AST-based BMCs stop display output for up to 5 seconds after
reprogramming the scanout address. As the address is fixed, avoid
re-setting the address' value.

v2:
	* only update offset if it changed (Jocelyn)
