Hi Woody,

The 4.15 vmwgfx driver shows a warning during boot (32 bit x86)
It is caused by a mismatch between the result of vmw_enable_vblank() and
what the drm_atomic_helper expects:
    /...
    ret = drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc);
    WARN_ONCE(ret != -EINVAL, "driver forgot to call
drm_crtc_vblank_off()\n");
This doesn't apply to us because we don't have vblank support, and so
-ENOSYS seems to be the right error.

In the commit message for 84014b0a39ee, it does state a check for this
condition, but the check itself is based on dev->irq_enabled.

Is there another way to check for vblank support?

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
