It'll work on i915 at least, on current hw. Might still be broken on
other, but then that's a larger issue with the fbcon atomic code right
now.

Yeah I suspected this is what you're trying to do, but imo it's too clear.
Can't we do an explicit check for this instead of uncommented magic that
takes half an hour to understand? I'm thinking of

if (count_bits(fbb_helper->rotation)) {
	/* conflicting rotation requests on different connnectors, fall
	 * back to unrotated. */

	 fb_helper->rotation == ROTATE_0
}

Or something similar at the end of drm_setup_crtcs (plus maybe doing the
resolve in there too). Right now that logic is split between 2 functions,
and no comment explaining what's going on.

But not sure that's actually going to help with readability.
