Subject: [RFC 3/4] drm/atomic-helper: Set fence deadline for vblank

From: Rob Clark <[email protected]>

For an atomic commit updating a single CRTC (ie. a pageflip) calculate
the next vblank time, and inform the fence(s) of that deadline.

Either this return or the next one below would always be taken, I doubt this was intended.

vblank timestamps correspond to the end of vertical blank, the deadline should be the start of vertical blank though.

oops, the condition here is mistakenly inverted, it was meant to bail
if there is more than a single CRTC

hmm, I suppose this depends on whether the hw actually has separate
irq's for frame-done and vblank (and whether the driver
differentiates).. and if the display controller is doing some
buffering, the point at which it wants to flip could be a bit earlier
still. Maybe we just want a kms driver provided offset for how early
it wants the deadline relative to vblank?
