One patch submitted. And I can't figure out why, but the timer that is
supposed to be deleted by drm_vblank_cleanup() isn't getting
destroyed. And once the timer fires, the device is already
invalidated, and it oopses in radeon_get_vblank_counter(). The obvious
temporary solution is a check whether dev->mmio is a valid pointer,
and if not, return -EINVAL. But obviously, fixing the timer is more
ideal.
