Not sure what you mean by "just", but to be clear: The drm_vblank_on/off
counter jumping bug (similar to the bug this thread is about), which
exposed the overflow bug, is still alive and kicking in 4.5. It seems
to happen when turning off the CRTC:

I suspect this may not be evident with current Intel hardware because
dev->max_vblank_count = 0xffffffff, which makes the wraparound code in
drm_update_vblank_count a no-op. Maybe you can reproduce it if you
artificially set a lower max_vblank_count in the driver.
