Re: [PATCH v.2] 4.15 vmgfx boot warning

The 4.15 drm_atomic_helper driver shows a warning during boot (both 32 and 64 bit x86)
It is caused by a mismatch between the result of vmw_enable_vblank() and what the drm_atomic_helper expects:
ÂÂ /...
ÂÂ ret = drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc);
ÂÂ WARN_ONCE(ret != -EINVAL, "driver forgot to call drm_crtc_vblank_off()\n");
ÂÂ /...
