There is only one plane in game.
Apparently there is an issue with intel_crtc_crc_setup_workarounds.
It calls intel_atomic_get_crtc_state for fresh state, causing state 
duplication, but async_flip flag is set always to false in new state.
In cases full modeset is not performed hw and sw state of async_flip 
will differ after commit of this state.
Ugly/racy workaround for this below:
