[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: add cherryview specfic forcewake in execlists_elsp_write

[S, Deepak]

Hmm Ok Daniel. Let me try and clean up the forcewake. :)

Chris, most of the debugfs is already covered with runtime_get/put. If anything is missed we can add that

Thanks
Deepak

I fail to see the reason why they take it at all. Conceptually,
gen6_gt_force_wake_get() is just as lowlevel as the register access they wrap. The only one that breaks the rule is i915_debugfs.c and that seems easy enough to wrap with its own intel_runtime_pm_get/_put.

And once you've finish with that you can then sort out the mess that is the vlv variants. And now skl continues in the cut'n'paste'n'paste vein.
