That's a good comment.
It turned out that this is not really necessary here, but to avoid a regression
with "[PATCH 34/39] drm: renesas: shmobile: Atomic conversion part 1", where
it is needed to call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown().
As the comments for drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() says it is the
atomic version of drm_helper_force_disable_all(), I figured I had to
introduce a call to the latter first, before doing the atomic conversion.

Does that make sense?

Well, drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() is a convenience wrapper
around drm_atomic_helper_disable_all()... But we can't call any
atomic helpers yet, before the conversion to atomic modesetting.
