Hm, I don't think this is a new requirement. Simple KMS Helper Reference
clearly states that it should be called from update:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.html#simple-kms-helper-reference

Probably using drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail_rpm just exacerbates an
issue which we haven't seen before...

Since I think it is a general fix, I'd rather prefer have it in a
separate commit.

Shouldn't that be in mxsfb_pipe_update?
