Note that Maxime's patch implements the commit tail as

	drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_disables(dev, old_state);
	drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_enables(dev, old_state);
	drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes(dev, old_state,
					DRM_PLANE_COMMIT_ACTIVE_ONLY);

while this patches moves the drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes() back between 
drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_disables() and 
drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_enables().
