Yep, I see now why it was implemented this way.
We basically handle everything in a single hook, taking care of the correct
sequence. As I understood otherwise we are going to have problems with the pll
subsystem, i.e we can't disable pll for master before the slaves(basically means
our pll subsystem contradicts what the crtc/pipe/encoder sequence requires).

I still think this is bery counterintuitive implementation, i.e when there is a single
hook for master taking care of everything, while slaves are just noop. 
This makes the whole thing very prone for screwing things up.
Ideally we should still have fully functional hooks for all slaves. 
If the pll stuff requires special treatment, that probably should be dealt somehow
separately(don't have any solution for that yet), but definitely we shouldn't live
further like that. Things might get even more complicated in future.
