Thanks for that.
In the meantime I tried previously sent patches:
--------------->8-------------
9267484 drm/arc: Actually bother with handling atomic events.
cf4a489 drm/arc: Nuke event_list
9c3152e drm/atomic-helper: Massage swap_state signature somewhat
--------------->8-------------
and on both boards (axs103 and nSIM OSCI) video works quite fine.
