Remove, it doesn't do anything for kms drivers. The value these calls
update was never consulted when reading the property, instead
drm_atomic_connector_get_property() directly looks at
drm_connector->dpms. These calls where only needed for legacy modeset.
Also note that the default _ON is the right one, since DPMS state is
in addition to modeset state. dpms should actually be set to _ON when
you enable the display using a modeset call, atomic takes care of that
in drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state().

Aka we found a using this WARN_ON!

And if you think the above explanation should be somewhere in
kerneldoc, pls add :-)
