atomic ioctl + FLIP_ASYNC does not do anything special. FLIP_ASYNC
with the legacy page_flip ioctl works correctly. This is in the core
ioctl handler (the flag simply did nothing for atomic), so
irrespective of whether the driver has a bug or not with FLIP_ASYNC.

Yeah target time (instead of just target vblank that we currently
have) has been discussed before. It's just that no one yet typed an
implementation (driver and userspace and all that).

It was a bit too simplistic a conversion. But for specific features
(like doing a page flip with atomic instead of the legacy page_flip
ioctl because you need that one new feature) you can just use the
atomic ioctl - legacy ioctl and atomic can be mixed like that, because
underneath it's all atomic anyway.

The trouble with the modesetting atomic is that atomic isn't a simple
1:1 translation of the old ioctls, and the implementation that landed
was simply broken. And no one has put in the work to make it solid, so
it got backed out.
