Yes, we can remove this even Gen8 is capable but it is not supported by 
these patch series anyway.

Per response from firmware team / BSpec, we can remove this line.

There was a hang issue in GuC if clock gating is enabled. This has be 
resolved for a while. We should enable this bit.

BXT is Gen9 LP, which is using same mmio register as Gen8 for this case. 
My suggestion:
s/GEN8_GT_DOORBELL_ENABLE/GT_DOORBELL_ENABLE/g
And, add definition below. Use it here to avoid confuse.
#define GEN9LP_GT_PM_CONFIG 0x138140

s/I915_WRITE(GEN8_GT_PM_CONFIG, GEN8_GT_DOORBELL_ENABLE);
/I915_WRITE(GEN9LP_GT_PM_CONFIG, GT_DOORBELL_ENABLE);/g

Thanks,
Alex
