cayman is DCE5.  It is using the correct code path.

Locking makes updates atomic rather than double buffered.

doesn't matter.

The existing sequence should be correct.  It's the same sequence our hw team
recommends.  I can't reproduce this on my cayman boards unfortunately and this
patch fixes the exact same problem you are having for a number of other people
:/

Maybe an issue with the icon or cursor, but I think those should be disabled
when we disable mem requests in the crtc.  Does this patch help?
