PATCH v3 1/1 media: vivid: Improve timestamping

Simulate a more precise timestamp by calculating it based on the current framerate.

---
Changes in v2:
- fix spelling
- end of exposure is offset by 90% of the frame period
- fix timestamp calculation for FIELD_ALTERNATE (untested)
- timestamp is now calculated and set from vivid_thread_cap_tick()
- capture vbi uses the same timestamp as non-vbi, but offset by 5%
- timestamp stays consistent even if the FPS changes
- tested with dropped frames
Changes in v3:
- fix calculating offset for 'End of Frame'
- fix changing 'Timestamp Source' mid-capture
- change order of operation when calculating the VBI's offset

Simulate a more precise timestamp by calculating it based on the current framerate.

Something is still wrong: the frame period calculation is fine for input 0 (webcam), but if I switch to another input (S-Video/TV/HDMI), then it is totally wrong: for input 3 (HDMI) the fps seems to be off by a factor of 10000 (i.e. I see a framerate of over 60000 where I expected to see 60 Hz), and for inputs 2 and 3 I get 7000 fps for PAL and 110000 for NTSC.

v4l2-ctl -P (== VIDIOC_G_PARM) returns the right thing here.

This calculation is the problem:

	u64 f_period = dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.numerator * 1000000000 /
		       dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.denominator;

You need to cast dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.numerator to a u64 first otherwise the multiplication overflows the u32 if numerator is > 4.

Also note that you cannot divide 64 bit values: not all architectures support that. Use do_div instead.

With that change it should work.

Regards,

Hans
