[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 21/25] drm/i915/fbc: don't print no_fbc_reason to dmesg

[Paulo Zanoni]

Our dmesg messages started being misleading after we converted to the
enable+activate model: we always print "Disabling FBC", even when
we're just deactivating it. So, for example, when I boot my machine
and do "dmesg | grep -i fbc", I see:
  [drm:intel_fbc_enable] Enabling FBC on pipe A
  [drm:set_no_fbc_reason] Disabling FBC: framebuffer not tiled or fenced
but then, if I read the debugfs file, I will see:
  $ sudo cat i915_fbc_status
  FBC enabled
  Compressing: yes
so we can conclude that dmesg is misleading, since FBC is actually
enabled. What happened is that we deactivated FBC due to fbcon not
being tiled, but when we silently reactivated it when the display
manager started. We don't print activation messages since there may be
way too many of these operations per second during normal desktop
usage.

One possible solution would be to change set_no_fbc_reason to
correctly differentiate between disable and deactivation, but we
removed support from printing activation/deactivation messages in the
past because they were too frequent. So instead of doing this, let's
just not print anything on dmesg, and leave the debugfs file if the
user needs to investigate something. We already print when we enable
and disable FBC anyway on a given pipe, so this should already help
triaging bugs.
