>The distinction between the dmc_firmware_path module param being NULL
>and the empty string "" is problematic. It's not possible to set the
>parameter back to NULL via sysfs or debugfs. Remove the distinction, and
>consider NULL and the empty string to be the same thing, and use the
>platform default for them.
>
>This removes the possibility to disable DMC (and runtime PM) via
>i915.dmc_firmware_path="". Instead, use "/dev/null" as the magic
>firmware path to skip DMC firmware loading and disable runtime PM.
>
>v2: Add support for i915.dmc_firmware_path="/dev/null" (Gustavo)
