This is kind of misleading. From reading earlier parts of the thread the reason why drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() won't work is because it has a potential race condition that can't be detected unless you also have a vblank counter. However, the above comment makes it work like drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() doesn't work in the absence of a vblank counter, which isn't quite true.
Perhaps also the drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() kerneldoc needs to be updated with these restrictions on its use?
