SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 00/35] drm: Analog TV Improvements
Hi Maxime,

I tried testing and reviewing your changes properly over the last weekend, but
ultimately ran into this ("flip_done timed out" etc.) issue and was unable to
mitigate it, at least so far. This seems to pop up every time I try to change
modes in any way (either change the TV norm, or just try doing
"xrandr --output Composite-1 --off" followed by bringing it back on; it also
means that the Pi goes unusable when the DE's screen saving routine kicks in).

I'm using a Pi 4, and it works with the rpi-5.13.y branch
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux, but seemingly nothing newer.
I specifically tried rpi-5.14.y, rpi-5.15.y and rpi-5.19.y - rpi-5.15.y,
which is the current main branch in Raspberry Pi OS, seems to be broken since
forever; at least since my patches (originally written for 5.10) landed there.

I'll try identifying the issue further, possibly later today, and maybe check
the rpi-6.0.y branch as well.

Best regards,
Mateusz Kwiatkowski
