Hmm. I can't figure out what the problem really is here. Yes, it does
look like we'd end up writing the watermarks twice for pipes that
are getting enabled. But that should be safeish (apart from the whole
"need PLANE_SURF write to atually arm the update" mess).

Note that this whole code is getting nuked soon (I hope):
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/51878/
but in the meantime if there is a clear bug we probably want the fix in
first so that it can be backported. So I think we need a clear analysis
of the actual problem.
