I don't understand what you're saying. Should there be a comma after
"No" ? If not, then I'm not sure what they don't handle.

Meh. Much simpler to write code when you don't have to worry about such
details.
In the kernel it should amount to
if (!pipe_active)
send_event
We anyway need something like that for the crtc getting disabled case,
don't we?
