I'm not sure this is really correct. The description says the pipe will
just output a solid color, so the display hardware may be there to some
degree and if we don't want to waste power we may have to power manage
some of it still.

Not sure how high up we've plugged in the 'pipe_mask==0 -> display not
there' logic. If it's too high up we may leave some power on the floor.

But all that is just speculation on my part. Would probably be good
to get some clarification to the spec about this stuff.
