John Keeping 2d078c2d04 drm/rockchip: fix VOP vblank race
We have seen a case of a bad reference count for vblanks with the
Rockchip VOP:

	---[ end trace 0000000000000002 ]---

It seems that this is caused by unfortunate timing between
vop_crtc_atomic_flush() and vop_handle_vblank() given the following
ordering:

	atomic_flush		handle_vblank
	------------		-------------

	drm_flip_work_queue
	set_bit
	     			if (test_and_clear_bit(...))
	     				drm_flip_work_commit
	drm_vblank_get

This results in vop_fb_unref_worker (called as flip work) decrementing
the vblank refcount before it has been incremented.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
