At the end of a commit, atomic helpers can generate a fake VBLANK event automatically. Originally implemented for writeback connectors, the functionality can be used by any driver and/or hardware without proper VBLANK interrupt. The patch updates the documentation to make this behaviour official: settings struct drm_crtc_state.no_vblank to true enables automatic generation of fake VBLANK events. The new interface drm_dev_has_vblank() returns true if vblanking has been initialized for a device, or false otherwise. Atomic helpers use this function when initializing no_vblank in the CRTC state in drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset(). If vblanking has been initialized for a device, no_blank is disabled. Otherwise it's enabled. Hence, atomic helpers will automatically send out fake VBLANK events with any driver that did not initialize vblanking. v5: * more precise documentation and commit message v4: * replace drm_crtc_has_vblank() with drm_dev_has_vblank() * add drm_dev_has_vblank() in this patch * move driver changes into separate patches v3: * squash all related changes patches into this patch Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200129120531.6891-2-tzimmermann@suse.de
