From: Mahesh Kumar <mahesh1.kumar@intel.com>

This patch adds IPC support for platforms. This patch enables IPC
only for BXT/KBL platform as for SKL recommendation is to keep is disabled.
IPC (Isochronous Priority Control) is the hardware feature, which
dynamically controles the memory read priority of Display.

When IPC is enabled, plane read requests are sent at high priority until
filling above the transition watermark, then the requests are sent at
lower priority until dropping below the level 0 watermark.
The lower priority requests allow other memory clients to have better
memory access. When IPC is disabled, all plane read requests are sent at
high priority.

Changes since V1:
 - Remove commandline parameter to disable ipc
 - Address Paulo's comments

This comment doesn't match the code.
Is it ok to enable IPC right away? Not when the driver is writing the first watermarks? (distrust_bios_wm)
And what about suspend/resume, should this flag be set again after resume?

hmm.. comment should have been Broxton/Kabylake.
Yes we can enable IPC at any time. In future BIOS itself may enable IPC. 
(though I'm not sure about the behavior if WM programmed by BIOS are not 
correct)
We don't reset (save/restore) this during suspend/resume, it's onetime 
programming.

The comment is also not really useful, since it's obvious from the code
what's going on. If you add a comment, explain _why_ you're doing
something. The _what_ should be clear from the code flow, if not you need
to refactor.

In addition to what others said, we also need the linetime/2 WA if we
want to enable IPC.

Also, see below.
