Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your review!

Ok. Is there a preferred way to do HW state readout, or should I just
add that to my probe?

Ack, I will.

Ok.

I can't really use drm_irq anyway, since we don't have a single
interrupt for the VBLANK, but two, that we have to use depending on
the output.

Ok.

The hardware will not take the register writes into account until a
bit is set (in the _commit function), so I guess putting it in
atomic_flush makes sense.
Thanks!
