drm/i915/psr: Display WA 0884 applied broadly for more HW tracking.
WA 0884:bxt:all,cnl:*:A - "When FBC is enabled with eDP PSR, the CPU host modify writes may not get updated on the Display as expected. WA: Write 0x00000000 to CUR_SURFLIVE_A with every CPU host modify write to trigger PSR exit." We can also find on spec other cases where they describe bogus writes to cursor registers to force PSR exit with HW tracking. And it was confirmed by HW engineers that this Wa can be safely applied for any frontbuffer activity. So let's use this more and more here instead of forcibly disable and re-enable PSR everytime that we have a simple reliable flush case. Other commits improve the fbcon/fbdev use a lot, but this approach is the only when where we can get a fully reliable console with no slowness or missed frames and PSR still enabled and active. v2: - Rebase on drm-tip - (DK) Add a comment to explain that WA tells about writing 0 to CUR_SURFLIVE_A but we write to CUR_SURFLIVE(pipe). v3: Wa doesn't work on PSR2.
