I'd expect interconnect issue would trigger underflow irq's).. I'm not entirely sure why atomic would break things but cmd mode panels aren't especially well tested. I can't find it now but there was a thread (or IRC discussion?) that intf2vblank() should be returning MDP5_IRQ_PING_PONG_<n>_DONE instead of MDP5_IRQ_PING_PONG_<n>_RD_PTR, which seems likely and possibly related to vblank timing issues..
