drm_atomic_helper_dirtyfb() creates a new atomic commit for the 
frambuffer's planes. Drivers can then updates these planes' output 
(e.g., writeback to video memory). I thought that amdgpu simply scans 
out from the framebuffer's memory regions in VRAM. So I'm curious why 
this patch is necessary.

Best regards
