Well, there is my alternative one-line patch, which is equally simple and
solves the problem in a similar way that doesn't undo Ville's stricter
checks, but it doesn't seem to get any attention:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-January/292763.html

Mine keeps the check as strict as before for non-atomic drivers, but
removes the check for atomic drivers, given the assumption that they should
be able to do without it.

In the end both patches solve the problem in the short term, also
satisfying my (users) needs, and the future is unknown. But it would be
nice to get an opinion from an atomic expert which one is the more future
proof / elegant / final solution to stick to in the face of potential
future atomic kms drivers

With that said, i will add to Bas patch a
