Did you mean "they're not disabled yet"? Well, at least now we're
programming the linetime registers _before_ we update the LP
registers, and every time. If we want to be 100% spec-compliant
without any intermediate steps then I guess we can discard this
linetime series and merge it all inside the single patch that will
fully implement haswell_update_wm. But it will be one single big
patch. Just tell me which one you prefer.
