Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] drm/i915/skl: Always wait for pipes to update after a flush

Unfortunately right now we don't really update watermarks on Skylake
properly, since ideally we'd be updating both the ddb allocations, plane
properties, and watermarks all in a single go. Until this is fixed
however, we can improve things somewhat by adding a vblank wait after
the third iteration of pipe flushes, since this forces us to always wait
for new ddb allocations to take affect before trying to change them
again.
