I think this needs to be a bit more precise, and should reference the
prepare/unprepare hooks.

sanitize_counter is a bit an unclear function name. I think resync_counter
would be better, but still not good really.

If we put the sanitize call like I suggested, this would be a driver bug.
We don't want to sanitize it when it's already sanitized and nothing
could have corrupted it meanwhile, and especially not when the vblank
counter is in use. Should be a WARN_ON, not debug level.

We also need to sufficiently fake the missed vblanks by comparing the last
timestamp with the new one and dividing the elapsed time by the frame
time. Ville has added such logic to already to make sure we correctly
account for the time between drm_vblank_on and drm_vblank_off when the
vblank counter is not running. Please reuse that code to make that
adjustment, instead of open-code it.
