drm/i915: don't disable a PCH DPLL that's in use
commit d8e70a254d8f2da141006e496a51502b79115e80
Author: Jesse Barnes <jbar...@virtuousgeek.org>
Date: Tue Nov 15 10:28:54 2011 -0800
drm/i915: only set the intel_crtc DPMS mode to on if the mode set succeeded
in your tree? Those are needed to fix some 3 pipe related bugs.
