Yeah in the end the sequence should be:
1. compute pipe_config for modeset changes on any crtcs where mode_changed
   is set.
2. call helper_check_planes which should use the values computed in step
   1. to compute the nuclear plane flip states. It's important that the
   depencies flow one-way since only then can we skip all the modeset
   state recomputation (and possible serialization because we need more
   crtc states) for pure plane flips.

Where exactly do the pipe_src_w/h values get out of sync here? Imo better
to patch them up someplace in the legacy modeset code than add hacks to
plane atomic functions.

Cheers, Daniel
