The ->check callback is right above this comment ... I'm confused.

That's kinda not what I meant with handling this automatically. Instead
something like this:

But maybe move the default value to some other/better place in the atomic
helpers, not sure what the best one is.

Plus then in the documentation patch also highlight the link between
crtc_state->no_vblank and drm_dev_has_vblank respectively
drm_device.num_crtcs.

That should plug this issue once for all across the board.

There's still the fun between having the vblank callbacks and the
drm_vblank setup, but that's a much older can of worms ...
