The pipe's layout is not cached, corresponding data structure is zeroed

Drop plane_addr comparison against previous layout and corresponding
EAGAIN handling.

The change itself LGTM, hence

But, shouldnt we add this EAGAIN validation or in other words fix this
rather than drop this?

What for? Does it really save us anything? What's the price of
re-programming the SSPP_SRC0_ADDR registers?

There are 4 Src registers being programmed per sspp.

With number of layers going up this will be 4x.

So lets say there are 5 layers and only one of their address has changed, we need to reprogram only 4 regs but now will reprogram 20.

I think this was the original intention for this change, however the implementation ended up being written in a way when this condition doesn't trigger at all.


Thats why i thought this is a good optimization.

But still, that is a separate change so I am fine if this goes in first as its just removing dead code anyway.
