The simple-KMS helper calls the pipe update after enabling the CRTC.
On an enable commit, imx_lcdc_pipe_enable() already programs the
mode and enables clk_per. The following pipe update sees the plane move
from no CRTC to the active CRTC, treats it as a mode update, and calls
imx_lcdc_update_hw_registers() again.
That second call has no old CRTC state to disable clk_per first, but it
enables clk_per again at the end. The disable path only drops one
reference, leaving clk_per enabled after each on/off cycle.
Skip the register update from the pipe update path when the CRTC already
needs a modeset. The enable path has already programmed the hardware for
that commit; keep the event handling in pipe update unchanged.
That seems reasonable. Once the driver uses regular DRM helpers instead of simple_kms, it can all be untangled and this test won't be necessary any longer.
