I was unclear above. I mean the following code:

+	while (tegra_fb_readl(tegra_fb, DC_CMD_STATE_CONTROL) & 3) {
+		vsync_count++;
+		if (tegra_fb_wait_for_event(tegra_fb, HZ/10, DC_INT_FRAME_END))
+			break;
+	}
+	if (unlikely(vsync_count > 1))
+		pr_warning("%s: waited for %d vsyncs\n", __func__, vsync_count);

It seems to me like the timeout from wait_for_event isn't propagated
back upwards. Maybe it isn't needed but the way the code handles this
seems confusing to me.

Thanks,
jaya
