When adding drm_crtc_vblank_on/off into crtc->disable/enable hook,
The "flip_done timed out" error msg has gone. It seems that
drm_crtc_vblank_off will send out all the pending event.
I will send out this patch for review soon.
My understanding is that drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event work together with
drm_crtc_handle_vblank (called in vblank interrupt).
Arm the event first in somewhere(like atomic_begin/flush) and then
send it out throuth drm_crtc_handle_vblank in vblank interrupt.
In the other way, drm_crtc_send_vblank_event work together with flip
interrupt. That's means event will be sent in flip interrupt
immediately.
Is this right?
