[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: enable the power well before module unload

[Paulo Zanoni]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

Our driver initialization doesn't seem to be ready to load when the
power well is disabled: we hit a few "Unclaimed register" messages. So
do just like we already do for the suspend/resume path: enable the
power well before unloading.

At some point we'll want to be able to survive suspend/resume and
load/unload with the power well disabled, but for now let's just fix
the regression.

Regression introduced by the following commit:

commit bf51d5e2cda5d36d98e4b46ac7fca9461e512c41
Author: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 3 17:12:13 2013 -0300
    drm/i915: switch disable_power_well default value to 1

Bug can be reproduced by running the "module_reload" script from
intel-gpu-tools.

QA (the bug reporter) still didn't confirm this patch fixes the bug, but I can
reproduce it and I can confirm it fixes the problem at least on my machine.

Also please notice we have other problems that happen when we run module_reload
(e.g., gpu hang, no backlight, lockdep error message, eventual oops), this patch
fixes only the "Unclaimed register" errors.
