[Intel-gfx] [RFC 0/2] GMBUS changes

[Ramalingam C]

I am not aware if there is a reason for restricting the Bytes per GMBUS
WR/RD to 256 at present. But HW has 9Bits for Total Byte count for a
single read or Write cycle. Means we can extend a cycle of RD/WR to
511Bytes.

At present nothing much as ROI, as most of the usecases are for less
than 256Bytes. On GLK tested for 300Bytes on single normal read, found
to be working fine.

First patch does it. But I have restricted the extension to BXT onwards,
as I am not sure about the legacy platforms.

And second patch is enabling the burst read for all GMBUS read of more
than 511Bytes, on supported platforms. Basically this Burst read is
enabled in HW for HDCP2.2 compliance requirement. Instead of enabling
the burst read only for HDCP on special API this patch enables it for
all GMBUS read of >511Bytes, on capable platforms.

Ramalingam C (2):
  drm/i915/gmbus: Increase the Bytes per Rd/Wr Op
  drm/i915/gmbus: Enable burst read
