The self-refresh helper framework overloads "disable" to sometimes mean
"go into self-refresh mode," and this mode activates automatically
(e.g., after some period of unchanging display output). In such cases,
the display pipe is still considered "on", and user-space is not aware
that we went into self-refresh mode. Thus, users may expect that
vblank-related features (such as DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK) still work
properly.
However, we trigger the WARN_ONCE() here if a CRTC driver tries to leave
vblank enabled.
Add a different expectation: that CRTCs *should* leave vblank enabled
when going into self-refresh.
This patch is preparation for another patch -- "drm/rockchip: vop: Leave
vblank enabled in self-refresh" -- which resolves conflicts between the
above self-refresh behavior and the API tests in IGT's kms_vblank test
module.
v2:
* add 'ret != 0' warning case for self-refresh
* describe failing test case and relation to drm/rockchip patch better

# vblank enabled in self-refresh"
