drm/imx: 'flip_done timed out' on i.MX6D+ and kernel v4.19.48

[Hannes Mösl]

Hi,

We observed the following error on an i.MX6D+ CPU during start of X.
As a result, the screen goes blank.


-------

[ 3599.200886] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done] *ERROR*
[CRTC:30:crtc-0] flip_done timed out

[ 3610.080885] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies] *ERROR*
[CRTC:30:crtc-0] flip_done timed out

[ 3620.320849] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies] *ERROR*
[CONNECTOR:45:LVDS-1] flip_done timed out

[ 3630.560864] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies] *ERROR*
[PLANE:28:plane-0] flip_done timed out

The error happens quite randomly but it can be reliably reproduced by
repeatedly restarting X . On our system, the error occurs somewhere
between 80 and 300 restarts of X.

We first observed the issue using kernel 4.14.123. Updating to 4.19.48
did not solve the issue unfortunately.


Cheers,
Hannes
