Some observations about the plane registers:
- the control register will self-arm if the plane is not already
enabled, thus we want to write it as close to (or ideally after)
the surface register
- tileoff/linoff/offset/aux_offset are self-arming as well so we want
them close to the surface register as well
- color keying registers we maybe self arming before SKL. Not 100%
sure but we can try to keep them near to the surface register
as well
- chv pipe b csc register are double buffered but self arming so
moving them down a bit
- the rest should be mostly armed by the surface register so we can
safely write them first, and to just for some consistency let's try
to follow keep them in order based on the register offset
None of this will have any effect of course unless the vblank evasion
fails (which it still does sometimes). Another potential future benefit
might be pulling the non-self armings registers outside the vblank
evasion since they won't latch until the arming register has been
written. This would make the critical section a bit lighter and thus
less likely to exceed the deadline.
v2: Rebase due to input CSC
v3: Swap LINOFF/TILEOFF and KEYMSK/KEYMAX to actually follow
the last rule above (Matt)
Add a bit more rationale to the commit message (Matt)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
