Hm... Did Mixer and FIMD combination really work correctly with
extension mode?

I think this issue is because page flip operations are performed in
atomic: if I see correctly, when page flip is requested by modetest, the
call flow is as follows,

drm_atomic_helper_page_flip
	drm_atomic_async_commit
		exynos_atomic_commit
			...
			drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks
			...

However, the function, drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks called by
exynos_atomic_commit, waits for the vblank completion of each crtc
driver . See wait_event_timeout function call in
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks function.

This means that a page flip request of a crtc driver cannot be performed
until the vblank completion of another crtc driver. I think you should
have implemented exynos_atomic_commit function asynchronously, not
synchronously like you did. So it seems that this function should be
re-implemented.

If my analysis is correct and you cannot post the change set within this
week, I'm not sure whether the atomic patch series should go to
mainline. Anyway, I will decide it and have a pull-request at the end of
this week at least.

Thanks,
Inki Dae
