It doesn't change anything feature-wise: whenever the mode is changed on
the CRTC, the encoder is going to be disabled and enabled.

It's disabled here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c#L1064

And enabled here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c#L1403

With drm_atomic_crtc_needs_modeset() being defined here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/drm/drm_atomic.h#L1049
