[Why]
Depending on when the HW latching event (vupdate) of double-buffered
registers happen relative to the PSR SDP (signals panel psr enter/exit)
deadline, and how bad the Panel clock has drifted since the last ALPM
off event, there can be up to 3 frames of delay between sending the PSR
exit cmd to DMUB fw, and when the panel starts displaying live frames.
This can manifest as micro-stuttering when userspace commit patterns
cause rapid toggling of the DRM vblank counter, since PSR enter/exit is
hooked up to DRM vblank disable/enable respectively.
In the ideal world, the panel should present the live frame immediately
on PSR exit cmd. But due to HW design and PSR limitations, immediate
exit can only happen by chance, when:
1. PSR exit cmd is ack'd by FW before HW latching (vupdate) event, and
2. Panel's SDP deadline -- determined by it's PSR Start Delay in DPCD
71h -- is after the vupdate event. The PSR exit SDP can then be sent
immediately after HW latches. Otherwise, we have to wait 1 frame. And
3. There is negligible drift between the panel's clock and source clock.
Otherwise, there can be up to 1 frame of drift.
Note that this delay is not expected with Panel Replay.
[How]
Since PSR power savings can be quite substantial, and there are a lot of
systems in the wild with PSR panels, It'll be nice to have a middle
ground that balances user experience with power savings.
A simple way to achieve this is by extending the vblank offdelay, such
that additional PSR exit delays will be less perceivable.
We can set:
20/100 * offdelay_ms = 3_frames_ms
=> offdelay_ms = 5 * 3_frames_ms
This ensures that `3_frames_ms` will only be experienced as a 20% delay
on top how long the panel has been static, and thus make the delay
less perceivable.
If this ends up being too high of a percentage, it can be dropped
further in a future change.

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.
