[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: Increase WM memory latency values on SNB

[ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com]

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

On SNB the BIOS provided WM memory latency values seem insufficient to
handle high resolution displays.

In this particular case the display mode was a 2560x1440 at 60Hz, which
makes the pixel clock 241.5 MHz. It was empirically found that a memory
latency value if 1.2 usec is enough to avoid underruns, whereas the BIOS
provided value of 0.7 usec was clearly too low. Incidentally 1.2 usec
is what the typical BIOS provided values are on IVB systems.

Increase the WM memory latency values to at least 1.2 usec on SNB.
Hopefully this won't have a significant effect on power consumption.

v2: Increase the latency values regardless of the pixel clock
