I'm at a loss tbh with ideas. We successfully disable both pipes, then
enable pipe A and it all works.

Then we enable pipe B and _both_ pipes underrun immediately afterwards.
Really strange. Can you please reproduce the issue again on
drm-intel-nightly (latest -nightly should also have the display
corruptions fixed, so good to retest anyway) and attach a new dmesg with
drm.debug=0xe.

Meanwhile I'll try to come up with new theories and ideas.

Thanks, Daniel
