With this well documented we can remove that FIXME comment. We just need to make sure that on primary -> sprite transition there is no vblank time where ips gets alone on the pipe with absolutelly no plane. If this happens even for a quickly momment IPS won't get recovered and it might cause strange flickering screens.
