When performing a modeset the atomic core calls
ipu_crtc_atomic_disable() which switches off the DC and DI.
When we immediately restart as in the modeset case this sometimes
leads to corruption at the bottom of the screen looking like a mirror
image of the top.
The exact reason isn't understood but it seems timing related.
This was observed on i.MX6DL on a system that does 2 mode
transitions on boot (fbcon->android boot animation->android homescreen)
then no more during normal operation resulting in corruption
about once every 10 boots that lasted for variable durations
from a few seconds to several hours.
Dumping the buffers confirmed that they were correct in memory,
just the display was wrong.
For tests the problem was reproduced systematically by forcing
a full modeset every 10 frames even if when not required.
Leaving the DC and DI on if the CRTC is staying on fixes this.
