I'm no expert on atomic modesetting, but here are my comments/questions:

You add drm_crtc_vblank_off() to crtc_destroy() callback. Why is that? I
think you should call drm_crtc_vblank_on() in crtc_enable(), and
vblank_off in disable.

You remove the setting of tilcdc_crtc_helper_funcs.dpms, but leave the
tilcdc_crtc_dpms, which you use elsewhere. I think all dpms stuff should
be removed from crtc, as it's all either "enable" or "disable". Git grep
shows that in omapdrm, there's just one reference to dpms, in
omap_connector.c: .dpms = drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms

It's not clear to me if a (primary) plane is required with atomic
universal planes and modesetting or not... I guess it is, when thinking
of how e.g. a framebuffer is configured to be shown on a screen when
using the atomic modesetting uapi.

But if it is required, it makes me wonder, are there other HWs out there
without any planes? The dummy plane implementation you added is not
complex, but is it something that should be implemented with DRM helper
funcs?
