Sinclair, it is a valid stand, so I guess it is time to ask Daniel...

Would it be OK to convert the WARN_ONCE statement in drm_atomic_helper
to recognize ENOSYS as a valid error? Something like

WARN_ONCE((ret != -EINVAL && ret != _ENOSYS), "driver forgot to call
drm_crtc_vblank_off()\n");

Thanks, Woody
