Some quick observations:
- missing any interaction with drm core, so all generic fb size checks
  and whatnot will not work out, I think
- the way it's done goes against what I've suggested in the past. My
  idea has been to add a "fixed mode" property to connectors instead,
  which I think would minimize the impact on the core, and it would
  follow closely the way eDP/LVDS/DSI already works today.
- There's no need to restrict the feature to gen9+ only. It should work
  out just fine for at least all pch platforms. gmch platforms would be
  more challenging
- the pfiter_recalculate thing looks pretty wrong atomic wise
