The QXL driver duplicates part of the core's drm_vblank_count(), so it
might as well use the core's variant for the extra goodies.

Hi

That doesn't really help, although it doesn't hurt either. Just wanted to point out that both the old and new method implement a no-op. The get_vblank_counter() driver function is meant to implement a hardware vblank counter query. It's only use case atm. is to reinitialize the dev->vblank[crtc].count.counter counter returned by drm_vblank_count().

The most honest implementation if there isn't any way to get a hw vblank count would be to just "return 0;" - Same net effect, but at least a marker in the code that there is future work to do.

I think a better solution would be if we wouldn't require .get_vblank_counter to be non-NULL, don't fake implement it in kms-drivers which can't do it, and make the drm core deal with lack of hw counter queries, e.g., by not disabling vblank irqs.
