[PATCH v2 0/4] Use no_vblank property for drivers without VBLANK

[Thomas Zimmermann]

(Resending because I did not cc dri-devel properly.)

Instead of faking VBLANK events by themselves, drivers without VBLANK
support can enable drm_crtc_vblank.no_vblank and let DRM do the rest.
The patchset makes this official and converts over several drivers.

Ast already uses the functionality and just needs a cleanup. Cirrus can
be converted easily by setting the field in the check() callback and
removing the existing VBLANK code. For most other simple-KMS drivers
without enable_vblank() and check(), simple-KMS helpers can enable the
faked VBLANK by default. The only exception is Xen, which comes with
its own VBLANK logic and should rather to disable no_vblank.

v2:
	* document functionality (Daniel)
	* cleanup ast (Daniel)
	* let simple-kms handle no_vblank where possible

Thomas Zimmermann (4):
  drm: Document struct drm_crtc_state.no_vblank for faking VBLANK events
  drm/ast: Set struct drm_crtc_state.no_vblank in atomic_check()
  drm/cirrus: Let DRM core send VBLANK events
  drm/simple-kms: Let DRM core send VBLANK events by default
