What is ugly, this patch or the overall situation?

I added Y to kms_flip_tiling back then - but both that one and kms_flip 
don't do any pipe crc. So not much use in automated fashion. And 
testdisplay apparently does not hit this path.

I did not have working crc hw back then, maybe that has changed, I'll 
check it and then, depending on the outcome, see if I can add something 
automated.

Either way, adding this fix sounds better than reverting everything.
