Original value was 32 for fw pulse len. This was changed to 24
(605f7c731333 drm/i915: Fix fast wake AUX sync len) and back then it
was fixing problem with certain panel model. This didn't match with our
static 42 us io wake time used to calculate io wake line configuration.
Issue with another panel model was fixed by setting it to 18
(b29a20f7c499 drm/i915: Use 18 fast wake AUX sync len) as was expected
by that 42 us io wake time.

In this problematic case io wake / fast wake is ending up to 4 lines.
I.e. io buffer on latency should be increased quite a lot to have any
impact on what is configured as io wake lines in PSR2 CTL. Anyways
based on my testing issue gets fixed by changing the pulse count or
fast wake lines configuration or both. Changing IO wake line
configuration doesn't help.
