And indeed it won't work at all because arcpgu doesn't call
drm_crtc_handle_vblank anywhere. So you need to add your patch to
enable vblank interrupts somewhere. Note that as long as you leave
max_vblank_counter as 0, the only bits you need is drm_vblank_init and
drm_crtc_handle_vblanke() from the irq handler.
