Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/i915: Only enable the plane after setting the fb base (pre-ILK)"


This reverts commit 49183b2818de6899383bb82bc032f9344d6791ff.

Franz Melchior:

 This patch introduces a bug on my infamous "Acer Travelmate
 5735Z-452G32Mnss": when KMS takes over, the frame buffer contents
 get completely garbled up on screen, with colored stripes and
 unreadable text (photo on request). Only when X11 is started, the
 screen gets restored again. Closing and re-opening the lid partly
 cures the mess, too: it makes the font readable, though horizontally
 stretched.

It's Whack-a-Mole time! Fix one laptop, break another. We'll pick 'no
regressions' over 'fixes existing bug' today.
