Tomi Valkeinen 8cde1c9b19 drm/tidss: Set vblank (event) time at crtc_atomic_enable
It was reported that Weston stops at an assert, which checks that the
page flip event timestamp is the same or newer than the previous
timestamp:

weston_output_finish_frame: Assertion `timespec_sub_to_nsec(stamp, &output->frame_time) >= 0' failed.

With manual tests, I can see that when I enable the CRTC, I get a page
flip event with a timestamp of 0. Tracking this down led to
drm_reset_vblank_timestamp() which does "t_vblank = 0" if
"high-precision query" is not available.

TI DSS does not have any hardware timestamping, and thus the default
ktime_get() is used in the DRM framework to get the vblank timestamp,
and ktime_get() is not "high precision" here.

It is not quite clear why the framework behaves this way, but I assume
the idea is that drm_crtc_vblank_on(), which calls
drm_reset_vblank_timestamp(), can be called at any time, and thus
ktime_get() wouldn't give a good timestamp. And, the idea is that the
driver would wait until next vblank after the CRTC enable, and then we
could get a good timestamp. This is hinted in the comment: "reinitialize
delayed at next vblank interrupt and assign 0 for now".

I think that makes sense. However, when we enable the CRTC in TI DSS,
i.e. we write the enable bit to the hardware, that's the exact moment
when the "vblank cycle" starts. It is the zero point in the cycle, and
thus ktime_get() would give a good timestamp.

I am not sure if this is applicable to other hardware, and if so, how
should it be solved in the framework. So, let's fix this in the tidss
driver at least for now.

This patch updates the vblank->time manually to ktime_get() just before
sending the vblank event, and we enable the crtc just before calling
ktime_get(). To get even more exact timing, the dispc_vp_enable() is
moved inside the event_lock spinlock.

With this, we get a proper timestamp for the page flip event from
enabling the CRTC, and Weston is happy.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
