    drm/core: Add drm_accurate_vblank_count, v5. · af61d5ce
    Maarten Lankhorst authored
    This function is useful for gen2 intel devices which have no frame
    counter, but need a way to determine the current vblank count without
    racing with the vblank interrupt handler.
    
    intel_pipe_update_start checks if no vblank interrupt will occur
    during vblank evasion, but cannot check whether the vblank handler has
    run to completion. This function uses the timestamps to determine
    when the last vblank has happened, and interpolates from there.
    
    Changes since v1:
    - Take vblank_time_lock and don't use drm_vblank_count_and_time.
    Changes since v2:
    - Don't return time of last vblank.
    Changes since v3:
    - Change pipe to unsigned int. (Ville)
    - Remove unused documentation for tv_ret. (kbuild)
    Changes since v4:
    - Add warning to docs when the function is useful.
    - Add a WARN_ON when get_vblank_timestamp is unavailable.
    - Use drm_vblank_count.
