drm/i915: make PC8 be part of runtime PM suspend/resume
Currently, when our driver becomes idle for i915.pc8_timeout (default:
5s) we enable PC8, so we save some power, but not everything we can.
Then, while PC8 is enabled, if we stay idle for more
autosuspend_delay_ms (default: 10s) we'll enter runtime PM and put the
graphics device in D3 state, saving even more power. The two features
are separate things with increasing levels of power savings, but if we
disable PC8 we'll never get into D3.
While from the modularity point of view it would be nice to keep these
features as separate, we have reasons to merge them:
- We are not aware of anybody wanting a "PC8 without D3" environment.
- If we keep both features as separate, we'll have to to test both
PC8 and PC8+D3 code paths. We're already having a major pain to
make QA do automated testing of just one thing, testing both paths
will cost even more.
- Only Haswell+ supports PC8, so if we want to add runtime PM support
to, for example, IVB, we'll have to copy some code from the PC8
feature to runtime PM, so merging both features as a single thing
will make it easier for enabling runtime PM on other platforms.
This patch only does the very basic steps required to have PC8 and
runtime PM merged on a single feature: the next patches will take care
of cleaning up everything.
v2: - Rebase.
v3: - Rebase.
- Fully remove the deprecated i915 params since Daniel doesn't
consider them as part of the ABI.
v4: - Rebase.
- Fix typo in the commit message.
v5: - Rebase, again.
- Add a huge comment explaining the different forcewake usage
(Chris, Daniel).
- Use open-coded forcewake functions (Daniel).
