[PATCH 04/12] drm/client: Add a FIXME around crtc->mode usage

[Ville Syrjala <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>]

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>

crtc->mode is legacy junk and shouldn't really be used with
atomic drivers.

Most (all?) atomic drivers do end up still calling
drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state() at some
point, so crtc->mode does still get populated, and this
does work for now. But eventually would be nice to eliminate
all the legacy stuff from atomic drivers.

Switching to crtc->state->mode would require some bigger
changes however, as we currently drop the crtc->mutex
before we're done using the mode. So leave the junk in
for now and just add a FIXME to remind us that this
needs fixing.
