Yup. I just tried to remember why we haven't done this yet, but I think
that was a patch to make crtc->helper_funcs optional. And that doesn't
make sense imo, since if your crtc doesn't do anything then you don't
really have an atomic driver :-) And if there's ever a legit use case for
this, then that drive probably shouldn't use the atomic helpers ...

But making crtc_helper_funcs->atomic_enable/disable optional sounds like a
good idea.
