intel_bigjoiner_num_pipes counts how many pipe are used, 
as I understand in case of bigjoiner we should always have it 
returning 2, right?

For example intel_bigjoiner_adjust_timings uses it currently
same way in our code, also I think there other places:

static void intel_bigjoiner_adjust_timings(const struct intel_crtc_state *crtc_state,
					   struct drm_display_mode *mode)
{
	int num_pipes = intel_bigjoiner_num_pipes(crtc_state);

	if (num_pipes < 2)
		return;

...

I was just willing to check if, we might have this mask
messed up somehow, because we add crtcs to the state based
on this mask. 

However I already checked, problem seems to be
somewhere else.
