It should be equivalent. CRTC_UPDATE_LOCK turns off double buffering in the
crtc which makes register updates atomic. The new code waits for the frame
count to increase (the double buffered updates happen at vblank) so it should
be equivalent. That said, it shouldn't hurt to take the lock. Does this patch
help?
