From: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4e3aed844547f63614363a386de126e6304e55fb upstream. On some systems there can be a race condition in which no crtc state is added to the first atomic commit. This results in all crtc's having a null DDB allocation, causing a FIFO underrun on any update until the first modeset. Changes since v1: - Do not take the connection_mutex, this is already done below.
