That commit adds code to track planes that are being activated, whereas
this commit sets bits for all planes that are being changed, including
those that are being disabled.

The difference is important because we have "GO" bits for each of the
planes, so if one is being disabled we have to set the "GO" bit to make
sure the changes are applied on the next VBLANK.

Perhaps the subject should be updated to something like:

	drm/tegra: Track changed planes in CRTC state

?
