[PATCH 3/9] drm/omap: fix race issue with vsync irq and apply

[Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@xxxxxx>]

omap_crtc's apply_worker does:

	omap_irq_register(dev, &omap_crtc->apply_irq);
	dispc_mgr_go(channel);

This is supposed to enable the vsync irq, and set the GO bit. The vsync
handler will later check if the HW has cleared the GO bit and queue
apply work.

However, what may happen is that the vsync irq is enabled, and it gets
ran before the GO bit is set by the apply_worker. In this case the vsync
handler will see the GO bit as cleared, and queues the apply work too
early.

This causes WARN'ings from dispc driver, and possibly other problems.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a new variable, 'go_bit_set' which
is used to track the supposed state of GO bit and helps the apply worker
and irq handler handle the job without a race.
