It makes sense for me. Would we need to detach disable_display from
num_pipes for that?

Anyways, taking another quick look to the only case we modify num_pipes
out of platform definition I don't see now how it would suddenly
become 0:

 if (enabled_mask == 0
 ...
                else
                        info->num_pipes = hweight8(enabled_mask);

so maybe just go with my previous version is safe after all?!

But indeed making it more solid is a good plan.
