[PATCH 2/2] drm/imx: Remove the primary plane created by create_primary_plane()

[Liu Ying]

Since we are using ipu_plane_init() to add one primary plane for each
IPU CRTC, it's unnecessary to create the safe one by using the helper
create_primary_plane().

Furthermore, the safe one is attached to crtc->primary, which actually
carries a framebuffer(crtc->primary->fb) created by the fbdev helper to
build up the fbcon.  Instead, the one created by ipu_plane_init() is
dangling, but it is the one actually does ipu_plane_mode_set() for the
fbcon.  This may causes the mismatch bewteen ipu_plane->enabled(true) and
ipu_plane->base.fb(NULL).  Thus, it brings a NULL pointer dereference
issue in ipu_plane_mode_set() when we try to additionally touch the
IDMAC channel of the ipu_plane.  This issue could be reproduced by
running the drm modetest with command line 'modetest -P 19:1024x768@XR24'
on the i.MX6Q SabreSD platform(single LVDS display).  This patch binds
the plane created by ipu_plane_init() with crtc->primary and removes the
safe one to address this issue.
