[3/3] drm/i915/params: prevent changing module params runtime

Commit Message

Jani Nikula May 18, 2020, 4:47 p.m. UTC

Only support runtime changes through the debugfs.

i915.verbose_state_checks remains an exception, and is not exposed via
debugfs.

This depends on IGT having been updated to use the debugfs for modifying
the parameters.
