Hmm, I'm not sure I follow. Are you seeing issues where irq overlaps with
enable/disable? I hacked in sync vblank enable/disable quickly to see if I could
reproduce what you're seeing, but things seemed well behaved.

I do see that there is a chance to call drm_handle_vblank() while holding
enc_spinlock, but couldn't find any obvious lock recursion there.

Maybe a callstack or lockdep splat would help?

Here's my hack to bypass the display thread:
