drm: Add dev->vblank_disable_immediate flag
Add a flag to drm_device which will cause the vblank code to bypass the disable timer and always disable the vblank interrupt immediately when the last reference is dropped. v2: Add some notes about the flag to the kernel doc Reviewed-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
