If userspace does a commit with only plane B it's going to disable plane
A, right? The PRG/PRE register sets are double buffered (or at least we
always use them in this mode). So if plane B steals the PRE from plane
A, which is going to get disabled, plane A will continue to use the PRE
until the end of frame, then the register set will be latched and the
PRE is switched to plane B for the next frame.
