Subject: [PATCH 4.9 199/329] drm/imx: move arming of the vblank event to atomic_flush

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lucas Stach <l.stach@...gutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 6a055b92de15af987b4027826d43aa103c65a3c4 ]

Right now the vblank event completion is racing with the atomic update,
which is especially bad when the PRE is in use, as one of the hardware
issue workaround might extend the atomic commit for quite some time.

If the vblank IRQ happens to trigger during that time, we will prematurely
signal the atomic commit completion to userspace, which causes tearing
when userspace re-uses a framebuffer we haven't managed to flip away from
yet.
