Thanks for the information Michel.
Even in amdgpu_present_flip(), there is a check for amdgpu_window_has_variable_refresh() which actually checks whether window has a variable_refresh property set from the MESA or not ? this check is failing in my case and never calls amdgpu_present_set_screen_vrr. Is there any way that i can check whether MESA is setting this property ?
To my understanding, MESA will set this property to true or false based on whether application is running in Full screen mode or in normal mode. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

BTW, one should always use a specific Git commit for this kind of
reference, otherwise it will tend to point to unrelated code or even
nirvana as time passes.

This code in amdgpu_vrr_property_update is for the case when the
ChangeProperty request is called for a window which is already flipping.
In the case you're looking at, the window only starts flipping later,
and the KMS property is enabled from amdgpu_present_flip =>
amdgpu_present_set_screen_vrr.
