Applied your suggestion. Will be addressed in v4

As, had discussion offline, we will enable CMRR from the platform when VRR 
timing generator is also enabled.

So, will need to add additional check intel_vrr_always_use_vrr_tg. I will 
comment this into code as well so that can be documented in-place. 

So with this addition, patch #1 and #2 will also needs this check to make sure 
we have correct state programmed.

I will add this change with v4

Good point. I will address this in v4,

As we discussed, this basically we need to divide with denominator instead of 
hardcoded value, "1000"

Thanks
