    drm/radeon: Allow vblank_disable_immediate. · 08d38746

    With instantaneous high precision vblank timestamping
    that updates at leading edge of vblank, a cooked hw
    vblank counter which increments at leading edge of
    vblank, and reliable page flip execution and completion
    at leading edge of vblank, we should meet the requirements
    for fast/immediate vblank irq disable/enable.
    
    Testing on Linux-4.12-rc5 + drm-next on a Radeon HD 5770
    (DCE 4) with timing measurement equipment indicates this
    works fine, so allow immediate vblank disable for power
    saving.
    
    For debugging in case of unexpected trouble, booting
    with kernel cmdline option drm.vblankoffdelay=0
    (or echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/vblankoffdelay)
    would keep vblank irqs permanently on to approximate old
    behavior.
