[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/dgfx: Temporary hammer to keep autosuspend control 'on'

DGFX platforms has lmem and cpu can access the lmem objects
via mmap and i915 internal i915_gem_object_pin_map() for
i915 own usages. Both of these methods has pre-requisite
requirement to keep GFX PCI endpoint in D0 for a supported
iomem transaction over PCI link. (Refer PCIe specs 5.3.1.4.1)

Both DG1/DG2 have a hardware bug that violates the PCIe specs
and support the iomem read write transaction over PCIe bus despite
endpoint is D3 state.
Due to above H/W bug, we had never observed any issue with i915 runtime
PM versus lmem access.
But this issue becomes visible when PCIe gfx endpoint's upstream
bridge enters to D3, at this point any lmem read/write access will be
returned as unsupported request. But again this issue is not observed
on every platform because it has been observed on few host machines
DG1/DG2 endpoint's upstream bridge does not bind with pcieport driver.
which really disables the PCIe  power savings and leaves the bridge
at D0 state.

Till we fix all issues related to runtime PM, we need
to keep autosupend control to 'on' on all discrete platforms with lmem.
