[PATCH 0/6] drm: Consolidate the wait timeout conversion helpers

["Maíra Canal" <mcanal@igalia.com>]

DRM wait ioctls express their timeout in one of two ways: as an absolute
deadline in ns, or as a duration in ns. The core has a helper for the first
form, drm_timeout_abs_to_jiffies(), which panfrost, lima, tegra, xe and
some accel drivers use. However, there is no equivalent for the second
form, so the drivers that take a duration convert it themselves.

For example, i915 has a local helper to handle the relative timeout case,
and v3d carries a copy of it. This series moves that conversion into a DRM
helper called drm_timeout_rel_to_jiffies(), next to the absolute variant,
and converts the drivers that were open-coding either form.

This series becomes particularly relevant as the new helper will be used
in the next version of the series "drm/vc4: Switch to DRM GPU scheduler"
[1]. With this series, we avoid another duplication of the
nsecs_to_jiffies_timeout() function (and thanks Tvrtko for the suggestion).

PATCH 1 moves drm_timeout_abs_to_jiffies() out of drm_syncobj.c and into a
file of its own, so that both helpers live together. PATCH 2 adds a helper
for the relative variant. Patches 3 to 6 convert amdgpu, v3d, i915 and vc4.

Let me know your thoughts about it.
