Subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm/fsl-dcu: do not explicitly transfer registers on plane init

There is no need to explicitly initiate a register transfer and
turn off the DCU after initializing the plane registers. In fact,
this is harmful and leads to unnecessary flickers if the DCU has
been left on by the bootloader.

If you could give this and 3/3 a try on LS1021a I would be glad.
Since those are fixes I would like to send them for v4.9...
