I don't see what the extraction hurts. If someone manages to unify it
more that's fine, but in the meantime it could at least prevent random
bugs from cropping up in one of the relevant platforms. Wouldn't be the
first time someone forgets about chv.

Well the same complexity is already there during driver init. So it just
comes from the power wells. Trying to avoid the force enable all thing
is a bit difficult because we can't really reconstruct the required
refcounts until we've read out the entire modeset state.

I guess one option would be to read out the current power well states
and convert that into temporary refcounts that get dropped after the
init is done. That would at least guarantee we don't prematurely turn
off anything that the BIOS already lit up. And as Imre pointed out to me,
we should then definitely add the unclaimed register check for vlv/chv
so that we might catch more easily any missing power well references
in the init path.

Such rebasing sounds like work without benefit to me.
