But in flip preparation we would want to invalidate the PSR (software 
implementation) also.
In that case we could create a function called 
intel_frontbuffer_flip_invalidate() instead of edp_drrs_flip_prepare.
This will be invoking the invalidation for the PSR and DRRS. And this 
function could be called from
intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare().

Incase If FBC invalidate also needed at flip preparation, then we could 
create a common function called
intel_frontbuffer_invalidate parallel to intel_frontbuffer_flush which 
will be used by
intel_fb_obj_invalidate and intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare.

Please share your view. whether FBC invalidate is required on flip 
preparation?
