Hi Arnd,
Keith posted something very similar with:
<20171011004514.9500-2-keithp at keithp.com> "drm: Widen vblank UAPI to 64 bits.
Change vblank time to ktime_t"
It looks like perhaps Keith missed one of the comment tweaks that you have
below.
Keith, perhaps you can rebase your widening patch on this one?
