[why]
Reading frame count register used to get the vblank counter, which calls
dpu_encoder_phys to get the frame count. Even when it's disabled, the
vblank counter (through frame count) should return a valid value for the
count. An invalid value of 0, when compared to vblank->last (in
drm_vblank.c::drm_update_vblank_count()) returns an invalid number that
throws off the vblank counter for the lifetime of the process.

Rationale:
In drm_vblank.c::drm_update_vblank_count(), the new diff is calculated
through:
diff = (cur_vblank - vblank->last) & max_vblank_count;
cur_vblank comes from: cur_vblank = __get_vblank_counter(dev, pipe);
When the value is 0, diff results in a negative number (a very large
number as it's unsigned), which inflates the vblank count when the diff
is added to the current vblank->count.

[How]
Read frame_count register whether interface timing engine is enabled or
not.

Fixes: IGT:kms_flip::modeset-vs-vblank-race-interruptible
Tested on ChromeOS Trogdor(msm)

But I suspect we may have a bit more work for the display-off case..
or at least I'm not seeing anything obviously doing a pm_runtime_get()
in this call path.

I'm also not sure if the line/frame-count registers loose state across
a suspend->resume cycle, it might be that we need to save/restore
these registers in the suspend/resume path?  Abhinav?

BR,

I spent sometime checking this and I dont think we should go ahead with this change. So when the timing engine is off, I believe the reason this works is that the clocks are still not OFF yet so this should be returning the last value of the vsync counter before the timing engine was turned OFF. If the clocks got turned OFF and there is a power collapse, I expect the frame_count and line_count to get reset
to 0.

I was also looking at the stack in which this error will start happening. So I believe the sequence is like this
(mark can correct me if wrong):

drm_crtc_vblank_off(crtc); ---> drm_vblank_disable_and_save ----> drm_update_vblank_count ----> __get_vblank_counter().

crtc is disabled after the encoder so this path triggers an incorrect value because encoder was already disabled (hence timing engine was too). Clocks were still ON as full suspend hasnt happened yet.

To fix this, I think we should do what the downstream drivers did, so something like this:

5471 static u32 dpu_crtc_get_vblank_counter(struct drm_crtc *crtc)
5472 {
5473 	struct drm_encoder *encoder;
        struct dpu_encoder_virt *dpu_enc = NULL;

        dpu_enc = to_dpu_encoder_virt(drm_enc);
5480
***********************************************************
5485 		return dpu_encoder_get_frame_count(encoder);
************************************************************

this just returns phys->vsync_cnt (which is just an atomic counter which doesnt reset during disable) So in other words instead of relying on the hw register value which can be unpredictable when the timing engine is off,
use a sw counter

5486 	}
5487
5488 	return 0;
5489 }
