From: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@xxxxxxx>

drm_vblank_pre/post_modeset work fine for the radeon driver even though
it uses hardware counters, including suspend/resume.

- * Unfortunately this approach is racy and also doesn't work when the vblank
- * interrupt stops running, e.g. across system suspend resume. It is therefore
- * highly recommended that drivers use the newer drm_vblank_off() and
- * drm_vblank_on() instead. drm_vblank_pre_modeset() only works correctly when
- * using "cooked" software vblank frame counters and not relying on any hardware
- * counters.
- *
  * Drivers must call drm_vblank_post_modeset() when re-enabling the same crtc
  * again.
