If flips are not completing on MIPI DSI, may I recommend that you
start a timer when scheduling such a flip in the MIPI DSI driver that
will expire after a timeout. In that timer's expiration handler, you
can then go through the normal process of completing a flip. This
would make the timeout transparent to the generic exynos_drm_crtc
layer, which can then do its normal flip complete processing: send
pending vblank events, put vblank, clear pending_flip, etc.
Does that make sense?
Is it possible?
