Looks good. I've done a detailed review and found a bunch of things to
polish.

When resending patches please include a short summary of the changes
you've done. This helps reviewers a lot. E.g. for this one here:

Changes since v1:
- Compute the timer interval using the mode.

For the next revision you keep that and add

Changes since v2:
- Use the timing information already computed by core code.
- Use absolute timer mode
- and-so-on ...

Cheers, Daniel

You're accessing output->event without holding locks, that's not ok. But
see below, you can remove all that code.

General note: Diving stuff in the kernel isn't easy, you need to use
division macros otherwise your code won't build on 32bit.

Wrt the calculation itself: That's already done for you in
drm_calc_timestamping_constants(), no need to reinvent that wheel.

Can't we use absolute timer mode here? That avoids all the timestampt
computations.

drm_crtc_vblank_off is missing. That should result in some complaints when
you disable a crtc again ... Have you not seen any backtraces in dmesg?

You're missing locking here for output->event. Also I expect that you're
hitting the WARN_ON above (or you would, if you would call
drm_crtc_vblank_off).

Much simpler implementation is if you use drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event, plus
the fallback to sending the event out directly if the crtc is disabled.
See tegra_crtc_atomic_begin() for an example.

Also for the long-term plans we have with vkms with the crc stuff it's
better to put this all into the atomic_flush callback, not the
atomic_begin callback.

Ah, the last legacy hook where we don't yet have an option to use
drm_crtc_funcs instead. For now this is good here, but I think it'd be
great to do a follow-up task to clean this up, like we've already done
with the enable/disable_vblank hooks.
