Just my two cents: our downstream kernel has a helper somewhat like this
which waits for a specified number of frames (apparently this is useful
for some panels that require up to 5 or 6 frames before they display the
correct image on screen). So perhaps something like this could work:

        void drm_wait_vblank_count(struct drm_device *dev, unsigned int crtc,
                                   unsigned int count)
        {
                u32 last;
                int ret;

                ret = drm_vblank_get(dev, crtc);
                if (WARN_ON(ret))
                        return;

                while (count--) {
                        last = drm_vblank_count(dev, crtc);

                        ...
                }

                drm_vblank_put(dev, crtc);
        }

Then implement drm_wait_vblank() (or drm_wait_one_vblank()) on top of
that as a special case. Of course one could equally well implement
drm_wait_vblank_count() on top of your drm_wait_{one_,}vblank().

I couldn't think of a safe way to make the above work without the
loop...
