Since we are using ipu_plane_init() to add one primary plane for each IPU CRTC, it's unnecessary to create the safe one by using the helper create_primary_plane(). Furthermore, the safe one is attached to crtc->primary, which actually carries a framebuffer(crtc->primary->fb) created by the fbdev helper to build up the fbcon. Instead, the one created by ipu_plane_init() is dangling, but it is the one actually does ipu_plane_mode_set() for the fbcon. This may causes the mismatch bewteen ipu_plane->enabled(true) and ipu_plane->base.fb(NULL). Thus, it brings a NULL pointer dereference issue in ipu_plane_mode_set() when we try to additionally touch the IDMAC channel of the ipu_plane. This issue could be reproduced by running the drm modetest with command line 'modetest -P 19:1024x768@XR24' on the i.MX6Q SabreSD platform(single LVDS display). This patch binds the plane created by ipu_plane_init() with crtc->primary and removes the safe one to address this issue.
