[Bhanu] As we are using DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_NONBLOCK flag, driver returns -EBUSY if flipping is too fast.

[Bhanu] As we are using igt_require(display.is_atomic) in igt_fixture, I think it should be ok to use igt_display_commit_atomic().

[Bhanu] Please consider below are the high level flow:

Prepare_test --> do modeset
    |
    |---->set_vrr_on_pipe --> 1
    |          |
    |          |---->Flip & measure --> expected result is > 75%  
    |
    |---->set_vrr_on_pipe --> 0
    |          |
    |          |---->Flip & measure --> expected result is < 10%
    V
Test cleanup --> do modeset

>From above illustration, every time we change the vrr_enabled prop, do we need the full mode set?
If yes, then we need to do the modeset for i915 only, since AMD don't need modeset (Need to confirm)
