+Subject: drm/exynos: exynos7_drm_decon: add vblank check in IRQ handling
+
+From: Kaustabh Chakraborty <kauschluss@disroot.org>
+
+commit b846350aa272de99bf6fecfa6b08e64ebfb13173 upstream.
+
+If there's support for another console device (such as a TTY serial),
+the kernel occasionally panics during boot. The panic message and a
+relevant snippet of the call stack is as follows:
+
+ Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000000
+ Call trace:
+ drm_crtc_handle_vblank+0x10/0x30 (P)
+ decon_irq_handler+0x88/0xb4
+ [...]
+
+Otherwise, the panics don't happen. This indicates that it's some sort
+of race condition.
+
+Add a check to validate if the drm device can handle vblanks before
+calling drm_crtc_handle_vblank() to avoid this.
