This patch breaks on plane disabling. I think that all the disable_plane hooks
should zero all the watermark values. This might also make modeset more reliable

It's shown in this testcase that I wrote to expose this issue: kms_atomic_transition.plane-all-modeset-transition

I've applied patch 1, 2, 3 and 5 with some minor fixes.
