Hi Sagar,

sorry for the delay, see below for my comments.

Do we really need FW for reading? We don't program things here and
I915_READ() does take FW for the access itself.

Could you also add the following checks and bail out if anyone is
invalid?:

RC6LOCATION (0xd40) [0] should be 1.
RC6CTXBASE (0xd48) [31:4] should be non-zero. We could also check if it
falls within the WOPCM as it should.
PWRCTX_MAXCNT_RCSUNIT (0x2054),
 PWRCTX_MAXCNT_VCSUNIT0 (0x12054),
 PWRCTX_MAXCNT_BCSUNIT (0x22054),
 PWRCTX_MAXCNT_VECSUNIT (0x1A054),
 PWRCTX_MAXCNT_VCSUNIT1 (0x1C054) [19:0] should be greater than 1.

I'd prefer keeping this together with the RC6-sanitize code done for
other platforms in intel_init_gt_powersave(). You could also add a
broxton_check_pctx() similar to VLV/CHV that would perform the above
sanity checks any time intel_enable_gt_powersave() is called (in
addition to the check during intel_init_gt_powersave()).
