[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3] drm/i915/fbc: FBC causes display flicker when VT-d is enabled on Skylake

[Chris Wilson]

Erratum SKL075: Display Flicker May Occur When Both VT-d And FBC Are Enabled

"Display flickering may occur when both FBC (Frame Buffer Compression)
and VT - d (Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) are enabled
and in use by the display controller."

Ville found the w/a name in the database:
WaFbcTurnOffFbcWhenHyperVisorIsUsed:skl,bxt and also dug out that it
affects Broxton.

v2: Log when the quirk is applied.
v3: Ensure i915.enable_fbc is false when !HAS_FBC()
v4: Fix function name after rebase
v5: Add Broxton to the workaround

Note for backporting to stable, we need to add
	((struct intel_device_info *)INTEL_INFO(ptr))
