</div>Yeah I don't want to make HSW any harder than necessary; we can put off<br>
splits there.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>(I suspect those 2 paragraphs above are enough for a new phoronix article on HSW already :)).</div><div><br></div><div>Yeah, I've been through the same issues as Jesse, and we were talking with Daniel about this. Our intel_display.c is huge and unnecessarily complex, and we need to split it at some point if we want to keep our mental sanity. At least the split of it into intel_display.c and intel_pch_display.c would simplify the things a lot; and maybe we could add intel_display_gen6.c, intel_display_gen7.c, intel_display_pch_cpt.c and intel_display_pch_lpt.c and move those hardware-specific stuff there for simplifying out tasks in the future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was also thinking on adding a intel_workarounds.c for handling all the W/As we have in one place, and having some support for calling them via callbacks to run specific WAs during the modeset, after suspend/resume cycle and so on.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>For i915_regs.h, I don't think there is a need to split is for now. It is a nice way to have all the registers in just one place, and at least I never had a problem with it so far.</div><div>
