Starting with 4.20-rc1 I'm seeing the LCD screen briefly turn mostly purple
on devices with a DSI panel (seen on 2 different devices with a DSI panel).

This happens both with and without fastboot=1. This is caused by
commit 516a49cc1946 ("drm/i915: Fix assert_plane() warning on bootup with
external display").

And a user commenting on fdo bug 108225 has reported a flicker caused by
the screen briefly turning blank when booting with fastboot=1, which goes
away when reverting this commit.

I believe a revert of the offending commit is the best solution because
the commit introduces a drm_atomic_commit() call in the drivers' probe
path, causing writes to the hardware during probe.
I believe this goes agains the design of the driver which is to only
read-back state on probe and only write to the hardware on the first
commit from the fbcon or userspace.

Instead the assert_plane() problem the commit tried to fix should be fixed
by fixing the state read-back code.
