[PATCH 13/13] drm/i915/vrr: Fix seamless_mn drrs for PTL

Tue Aug 5 13:20:16 UTC 2025


With VRR timing generator always on, the fixed refresh rate is achieved
by setting vrr.flipline and vrr.vmax as the vtotal for the desired mode.

This creates a problem for seamless_mn drrs feature, where user can
seamlessly set a lower mode on the supporting panels by just changing
the mode clock, with desired lower rate. With VRR timing generator,
the vrr.flipline and vrr.vmax are set to vtotal, but that corresponds
to the higher mode.

To fix this, re-compute the vrr timings when seamless_mn drrs is in
picture. At the same time make sure that the vrr.guardband is set as
per the highest mode for such panels, so that switching between higher
to lower mode, does not change the vrr.guardband.
