Ok, so there's no problem with mixing up legacy and transitional helpers
here. It's still not how it's supposed to work though. All the helpers
(legacy, transitional & atomic) assume that when the helpers call into
crtc->disable hooks, the driver will also disable all the scanout engines.
The helpers will _not_ do that for you, it's the driver duties.

For atomic we have a helper function which you can call at the right
place, drm_atomic_helper_disable_planes_on_crtc(). Unfortunately it looks
like no one ever used it, so probably a bunch of bugs in drivers because
of this. Explicitly disabling the plane when the crtc is shut down might
confused/break drivers which get this right, hence why we can't have this
in the helper libraries.

In short: You need to fix this in your driver, by manually disabling the
plane at a suitable place first. Most likely that's in the crtc->prepare
hook (since you're still transitioning).
