We assume the diff is 1 and make an update, some kind of a default
similar to what is implemented in drm_update_vblank_count()

This one? -
"* We repeat the hardware vblank counter & timestamp query until
 * we get consistent results. This to prevent races between gpu

 * corresponding vblank timestamp." 


I added the loop based on that comment. If the register if partially
updated, we want to discard that and loop until it is stable.

I considered that, we need to pass at least four args for three lines of
code. Felt it was too small to warrant a separate function.

We have to store a stable count.
