Ah I mixed up intel_set_mode with intel_crtc_set_config, which does a more
elaborate compute_config. I guess this is something we still need to
untangle when we replace all the existing legacy entry points with the
legacy2atomic helpers. Probably needs some shuffling of responsibilities
betwen atomic_check and atomic_commit.
