> Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/i915/mcr: Hold GT forcewake during steering operations
> 
> The steering control and semaphore registers are inside an "always on"
> power domain with respect to RC6.  However there are some issues if
> higher-level platform sleep states are entering/exiting at the same time
> these registers are accessed.  Grabbing GT forcewake and holding it over
> the entire lock/steer/unlock cycle ensures that those sleep states have
> been fully exited before we access these registers.
> 
> This is expected to become a formally documented/numbered workaround
> soon.
> 
> Note that this patch alone isn't expected to have an immediately
> noticeable impact on MCR (mis)behavior; an upcoming pcode firmware
> update will also be necessary to provide the other half of this
> workaround.
> 
> v2:
>  - Move the forcewake inside the Xe_LPG-specific IP version check.  This
>    should only be necessary on platforms that have a steering semaphore.
