Ran this through our CI, warn and subsequent lockup were gone. That
lockup is worrying me now, but that doesn't seem to be an issue from
this series.

The i915 changes were simple enough, I would have computed the pin flags
just once (since the readonly bit is static, that would be interesting
if that was allowed to change mid gup :)
