[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: wait for IPS_ENABLE when enabling IPS

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

At the end of haswell_crtc_enable we have an intel_wait_for_vblank
with a big comment, and the message suggests it's a workaround for
something we don't really understand. So I removed that wait and
started getting HW state readout error messages saying that the IPS
state is not what we expected.

I investigated and concluded that after you write IPS_ENABLE to
IPS_CTL, the bit will only actually become 1 on the next vblank. So
add code to wait for the IPS_ENABLE bit. We don't really need this
wait right now due to the wait I already mentioned, but at least this
one has a reason to be there, while the other one is just to
workaround some problem: we may remove it in the future.

The wait also acts as a POSTING_READ which we missed.
