Currently, we aren't handling DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DIRTYFB. So, use
drm_atomic_helper_dirtyfb() as the dirty callback in the amdgpu_fb_funcs
struct.

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
Thomas
