Instead of rolling our own implementation for tracking when PSR should be [in]active, use the new self refresh helpers to do the heavy lifting.
I only got patches 3-5 and had to pull 1+2 from patchwork, the following applies to the whole series though.
While my Kevin display does still generally work with these 5 patches applied functionality has regressed somehow.
Environment is a standard Debian with framebuffer console and sddm login manager.
Ahh, this is probably b/c fb_dirty is not triggering PSR exit. I had it working in v1, but removed it in v2 since Daniel suggested we require the fb_dirty helpers. I neglected to add support for the fb_dirty helpers, so fbcon updates won't cause the screen to refresh. I'll add the helpers in v3 and make sure I test it out with fbcon.
Thanks for reporting this!
The cursor-not-blinking case above was X11+modesetting+sddm though, so not directly fbcon-related probably ... 2nd issue?
