[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 2/2] drm/i915: resize the GuC WOPCM for rc6

[Peter Antoine]

Ok,

The value written to GUC_WOPCM_SIZE is done on i915-gem.c at 6474:
 	/* init WOPCM */
 	if (IS_BROXTON(dev))
 		I915_WRITE(GUC_WOPCM_SIZE, BXT_GUC_WOPCM_SIZE_VALUE);
 	else
 		I915_WRITE(GUC_WOPCM_SIZE, GUC_WOPCM_SIZE_VALUE);

So I think it is correct on BXT. The definition is confusing as the space 
on BXT is smaller so that the RC6 data can be written to the WOPCM.

I don't think there is anything to do.

Peter.
