Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

Getting there, but not quite :-)

What we need to protect against is the display list not being committed early 
enough, resulting in one frame skip in the hardware. The good news is that the 
driver already detects the opposite condition just below.

This is what we want to report. You can simply return a bool that will tell 
whether the previous display list has completed at frame end. You should 
return true when the condition right below this comment is true, as well as 
when using header mode (to avoid breaking mem-to-mem pipelines), and false in 
all other cases.

This can be simplified greatly. If vsp1_dlm_irq_frame_end() returns false, 
return immediately without calling the pipe->frame_end() handler or 
incrementing the sequence number, as the frame has not completed. You can then 
remove the dl_postponed field from the vsp1_pipeline structure and call the 
.du_complete() handler unconditionally in vsp1_du_pipeline_frame_end() 
(provided it's not NULL of course). As the vsp1_dlm_irq_frame_end() function 
can't return true if a commit hasn't been queued in the first place, there's 
no need for a dl_pending flag either.
