Hi,

Should this be added inside a gen check similar to kms_async_flips?

We should be moving this IMHO. By waiting for vblank after each async 
flip to capture CRC, what is the intended result? Seems to be completely 
changing the existing test logic.

Also, seems like we are overwriting the CRC captured for j = 0, as 
comparison is done outside this loop. Is this done on purpose?

Thanks,
