    drm/vc4: Allow vblank_disable_immediate on non-fw-kms. (v2) · 7d2818f5
    Mario Kleiner authored
    With instantaneous high precision vblank timestamping
    that updates at leading edge of vblank, the emulated
    "hw vblank counter" from vblank timestamping 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
    vblank irq disable/enable.
    
    Testing against rpi-4.12-rc5 Linux kernel 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
    would keep vblank irqs on to approximate old behavior.
    
    v2: Respin onto drm-misc-next, per Eric's suggestion.
        Drop !vc4->firmware_kms check, as the firmware_kms
        implementation does not exist in upstream.
