I have a hard time following all the implications of this change. Would
this under some circumstances lead to a case where we use the state read
at probe, and do a full modeset on that state?

DSC, lacking full state readout, fails badly with this change [1]. We'll
do DSC enable using a mostly zeroed out DSC config in state. Leading to
division by zero.
