So making this specific to a CRTC sounds like a good idea. But it's not
the reality, drm_vblank.c assumes that either everything or nothing
supports vblanks.

The reason for dev->num_crtcs is historical baggage, it predates kms by a
few years. For kms drivers the only two valid values are either 0 or
dev->mode_config.num_crtcs. Yes that's an entire different can of worms
that's been irking me since forever (ideally drm_vblank_init would somehow
loose the num_crtcs argument for kms drivers, but some drivers call this
before they've done all the drm_crtc_init calls so it's complicated).

Hence drm_dev_has_vblank as I suggested. That would also allow you to
replace a bunch of if (dev->num_crtcs) checks in drm_vblank.c, which
should help quite a bit in code readability.

Cheers, Daniel
