The issue appears to be a disagreement between intel_crtc->active, an
attached framebuffer and there not being a valid mode set on the crtc.

It looks like we end up in that situation with further confusion over
intel_crtc->base.enabled vs intel_crtc->active. I suspect the answer is
something like:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
index a9fb046..5e4b818 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
@@ -7940,10 +7940,8 @@ bool intel_set_mode(struct drm_crtc *crtc,
 		}
 	}
 
-	for_each_intel_crtc_masked(dev, prepare_pipes, intel_crtc) {
-		if (intel_crtc->base.enabled)
-			dev_priv->display.crtc_disable(&intel_crtc->base);
-	}
+	for_each_intel_crtc_masked(dev, prepare_pipes, intel_crtc)
+		dev_priv->display.crtc_disable(&intel_crtc->base);
 
 	/* crtc->mode is already used by the ->mode_set callbacks, hence we need
 	 * to set it here already despite that we pass it down the callchain.

However, until that confusion is unravelled, reverting b0a2658ac, seems
the most sensible approach.
