SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] drm/vkms: guarantee vblank when capturing crc

Thanks a lot for your work here, patch merged to drm-misc-next.

I've kept the changelog in the commit message, I often find that quite
useful. But that's a bit a drm peculiarity, most other subsystems prefer
it like you've done it.

Cheers, Daniel
