Atomic helpers shouldn't ever call your ->mode_set_nofb hook when the
crtc is on. Instead they will do exactly what you're doing here
already, and first shut down the entire pipeline (crtc and encoders),
then call ->mode_set_nofb, then re-enable again.
This code shouldn't be needed at all (or there's a bug somewhere in
the helpers ..).

Please check out my reply to Lucas patch. tldr: The fence check should
be done in prepare_fb plane hook, and we should have one
implementation in the cma fb helper library for all drivers. Would be
great if you could create that helper (and switch imx over to it).
