That's a different cook used internally in the driver (mostly for
historical reasons nowadays). I'm talking about the
drm_plane->fops->update_plane hook, which is implemented for primary
planes by intel_primary_plane_setplane.

The idea is to have the exact same code flow as for sprite planes, since
once we have atomic modesets that will be what we need. In the sprite
set_prop function you pretty directly call the update_plane hook, and I
think we should do the same here. Actually we might as well directly reuse
the intel_plane_restore function, it seems to exactly do what we want.

Damien follow up internally. Since we're now allowed to talk about skl
I'll paste this here:

"On SKL, for 90/270, we'll also need to update the watermarks and remap
the fb.

"We already duplicate some of the logic: the FBC update, wait for
pending flips, ...

"So maybe we should try to find a way to take the same path for all
updates. I'm not too sure how practical this is though."

Damien also said that he doesn't want to still the series on this, but
since we now have universal plane support for the primary plane I think it
makes a lot of sense.
