In trying to use drm_hwcomposer with HiKey/HiKey960 boards, I
found that the crtc wouldn't intitalize and the atomic commit
calls were failing.

I initially chased this down to following check in the kernel
drm_atomic_crtc_check() function failing:

 if (state->event && !state->active && !crtc->state->active) {
     DRM_DEBUG_ATOMIC("[CRTC:%d:%s] requesting event but off\n",
                      crtc->base.id, crtc->name);
     return -EINVAL;
 }

Where because a fence was submitted state->event was set, but
the crtc state was not active. This results in the atomic commit
to fail and no mode to be set.

After hacking around this in the kernel, Sean Paul helped me
understand that it was the kernel complaining about the crtc
state being provided in the atomic commit which did not have the
active flag set.

Thus, the proper fix is to make sure when we do the modesetting
that we also set the crtc state active flag in property set.

With this change, the kernel no longer rejects the atomic commit
and the crtc initializes properly.
