Thanks for feedback. I tested this and, indeed there are issues on 6SX
with this particular patch. It seems that there is a race-condition
caused by the vblank_on call in enable and IRQ routine. Since this is
not happening on any of i.MX8 SoC, I suspect the axi clock usage.
I think I will just remove this patch from the patch-set and handle
this case separately.
