thanks for the pointer Daniel, that framework indeed looks like it can 
become handy.

Anyway this unfortunately turned out to be work for Harray and Nicholas. 
In detail it's about this bug report here: 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214621

Lang was able to reproduce the issue and narrow it down to the pin in 
amdgpu_display_crtc_page_flip_target().

In other words we somehow have an unbalanced pinning of the scanout 
buffer in DC.

What should we do about that?

Regards,
Christian.
