I'm not quite sure that I understand your concern. The additionally 
called functions are trivial one-liners; probably inlined anyway.

However, irq_enabled is only relevant for legacy drivers and will 
eventually disappear behind CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY. We can rewrite the test 
like this:

ifdef CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY
   if (unlikely(check_feature(dev, DRIVER_LEGACY))) {
     if (!irq_enabled)
       return;
   } else
#endif
   {
     if (!has_vblank_support(dev))
       return;
   }

As CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY is most likely disabled on concurrent systems, we'd 
get a single test for the modern drivers. If DRM_LEGACYis on, the 
compiler at least knows that the else branch is preferred.

Best regards
Thomas
