I mean, that *exclusively* powers the pipe(s).

As an example, bdw_pwdoms_display appears to be responsible not only for
pipe B and C, but also ddi lanes and audio, for example.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the details!

Well, although Bspec overview page tells that WCL's display has only
pipes A, B and C, the page specific for power wells still lists power
well D. So I'm wondering if WCL display just has pipe D fused off and
the power well still exists or if power well D being listed in Bspec is
just a documentation mistake. I'll check with the hardware team.

Well, if power well D does not exist indeed (i.e. not a case of pipe D
fused-off), we need either this above or maybe go back to Chaitanya's
original patch.

I think I prefer the original patch, making the power well mapping
explicit.
