    drm/i915/tv: Generate better pipe timings for TV encoder · e3bb355c
    Ville Syrjälä authored
    To make vblank timestamps work better with the TV encoder let's
    scale the pipe timings such that the relationship between the
    TV active and TV blanking periods is mirrored in the
    corresponding pipe timings.
    
    Note that in reality the pipe runs at a faster speed during the
    TV vblank, and correspondigly there are periods when the pipe
    is enitrely stopped. We pretend that this isn't the case and
    as such we incur some error in the vblank timestamps during
    the TV vblank. Further explanation of the issues in a big
    comment in the code.
    
    This makes the vblank timestamps good enough to make
    i965gm (which doesn't have a working frame counter with
    the TV encoder) report correct frame numbers. Previously
    you could get all kinds of nonsense which resulted in
    eg. glxgears reporting that it's running at twice the
    actual framerate in most cases.
    
    v2: s/IS_GEN4(dev_priv)/IS_GEN(dev_priv, 4)/ in the comment
        for consistency
