This could be simplified to:

	crtc->funcs->set_mode_major(crtc, &crtc->mode, crtc->rotation, crtc->x,
				    crtc->y);

One side effect of that is it calls drmmode_output_dpms() to enable the
outputs associated with the CRTC, but I think the X server would do
that anyway after enabling the CRTC. What do you think?
