As with VC4 and Rockchip, you're missing a ->preclose handler in your
drm_drv, to make sure that you don't try to send events to a dead
client (which causes an OOPS):
https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/daniels/linux.git/commit/?h=wip/4.4.x/rockchip-drm-fixes&id=d14f21bcd7
(and its parent)

Also, is there anything preventing clients from submitting multiple
pageflips before the event is sent? I couldn't see anything from a
quick look, so you could have the situation of:
  - client submits pageflip, event 1 stored to hdlcd->event
  - client submits pageflip, event 2 stored to hdlcd->event
  - vblank arrives, event 2 is sent
  - event 1 has disappeared and been leaked

Cheers,
Daniel
