We have seen a case of a bad reference count for vblanks with the
Rockchip VOP:

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.
