21   Implements calculation of exact vblank timestamps from given drm_display_mode
22   timings and current video scanout position of a CRTC. This can be called from
23   within <code class="function">get_vblank_timestamp</code> implementation of a kms driver to implement the
24   actual timestamping.
25   </p><p>
26
27   Should return timestamps conforming to the OML_sync_control OpenML
28   extension specification. The timestamp corresponds to the end of
29   the vblank interval, aka start of scanout of topmost-leftmost display
30   pixel in the following video frame.
31   </p><p>
32
33   Requires support for optional dev-&gt;driver-&gt;<code class="function">get_scanout_position</code>
34   in kms driver, plus a bit of setup code to provide a drm_display_mode
35   that corresponds to the true scanout timing.
36   </p><p>
37
38   The current implementation only handles standard video modes. It
39   returns as no operation if a doublescan or interlaced video mode is
40   active. Higher level code is expected to handle this.

45
46   -EINVAL   - Invalid CRTC.
47   -EAGAIN   - Temporary unavailable, e.g., called before initial modeset.
48   -ENOTSUPP - Function not supported in current display mode.
49   -EIO      - Failed, e.g., due to failed scanout position query.

54
55   DRM_VBLANKTIME_SCANOUTPOS_METHOD - Signal this method used for timestamping.
56   DRM_VBLANKTIME_INVBL - Timestamp taken while scanout was in vblank interval.
