Ok, I seem to have been truly blind all the time. This seems to have been
fallout from

commit b6c5164d7bf624f3e1b750787ddb983150c5117c

drm/i915: Fixup Oops in the pipe config computation

Meanwhile we've moved the overall infrastructure ahead again quite a bit,
so I think it's time to give the full atomic modeset paths another shot.
But I'll be travelling to fosdem the next few days, so this will take a
bit of time.

As long as there's not real bad side-effects I guess we simply need to
live with the WARN for a tad longer.
