Do you tested the same timing with BSP kernel?

It's quite difficult to get a negative value here, because the value is
quite big (includes mode->hdisplay * Bpp).

Strangely, only change the formula here back makes the timing
translated from FEX file works (tested on PineTab and PinePhone
production ver). The translation rule is from [1].

So I still insist on the patch because it's needed by experiment.
