[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 20/20] drm/i915: Early creation of relay channel for capturing boot time logs

From: Akash Goel <akash.goel at intel.com>

As per the current i915 Driver load sequence, debugfs registration is done
at the end and so the relay channel debugfs file is also created after that
but the GuC firmware is loaded much earlier in the sequence.
As a result Driver could miss capturing the boot-time logs of GuC firmware
if there are flush interrupts from the GuC side.
Relay has a provision to support early logging where initially only relay
channel can be created, to have buffers for storing logs, and later on
channel can be associated with a debugfs file at appropriate time.
Have availed that, which allows Driver to capture boot time logs also,
which can be collected once Userspace comes up.
