That's easily fixed by adding a pipe_update_start/end pair.

It will become more obvious again when pre_plane_update and post_plane_update 
are loops
instead of being precalculated from intel_plane_atomic_calc_changes.

But if you can precalculate fb_bits and know of wm changed post commit then 
post_plane_update
only cares about primary plane state.
