[PATCH 18/19] drm/i915: update the PC8 and runtime PM documentation.

[Paulo Zanoni <przanoni@gmail.com>]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com>

Now that PC8 got much simpler, there are less things to document.
Also, runtime PM already has a nice documentation, so we don't need to
re-explain it on our driver.

 /*
- * This struct tracks the state needed for the Package C8+ feature.
+ * This struct helps tracking the state needed for runtime PM, which puts the
+ * device in PCI D3 state. Notice that when this happens, nothing on the
+ * graphics device works, even register access, so we don't get interrupts nor
+ * anything else.
  *
- * TODO: we're merging the Package C8+ feature with the runtime PM support. To
- * avoid having to update the documentation at each patch of the series, we'll
- * do a final update at the end.
+ * Every piece of our code that needs to actually touch the hardware needs to
+ * either call intel_runtime_pm_get or call intel_display_power_get with the
+ * appropriate power domain.
  *
- * Package states C8 and deeper are really deep PC states that can only be
- * reached when all the devices on the system allow it, so even if the graphics
- * device allows PC8+, it doesn't mean the system will actually get to these
- * states.
+ * The gpu_idle variable is just used as a way to make sure that we actually do
+ * put/get calls symmetrically. When we change it to true, we put the runtime PM
+ * reference, and when we change it to false, we get the reference. With this,
+ * we can call intel_runtime_pm_gpu_{idle,busy} asymmetrically without problems.
  *
- * Our driver only allows PC8+ when all the outputs are disabled, the power well
- * is disabled and the GPU is idle. When these conditions are met, we manually
- * do the other conditions: disable the interrupts, clocks and switch LCPLL
- * refclk to Fclk.
- *
- * When we really reach PC8 or deeper states (not just when we allow it) we lose
- * the state of some registers, so when we come back from PC8+ we need to
- * restore this state. We don't get into PC8+ if we're not in RC6, so we don't
- * need to take care of the registers kept by RC6.
- *
- * The interrupt disabling is part of the requirements. We can only leave the
- * PCH HPD interrupts enabled. If we're in PC8+ and we get another interrupt we
- * can lock the machine.
- *
- * Ideally every piece of our code that needs PC8+ disabled would call
- * hsw_disable_package_c8, which would increment disable_count and prevent the
- * system from reaching PC8+. But we don't have a symmetric way to do this for
- * everything, so we have the requirements_met and gpu_idle variables. When we
- * switch requirements_met or gpu_idle to true we decrease disable_count, and
- * increase it in the opposite case. The requirements_met variable is true when
- * all the CRTCs, encoders and the power well are disabled. The gpu_idle
- * variable is true when the GPU is idle.
- *
- * In addition to everything, we only actually enable PC8+ if disable_count
- * stays at zero for at least some seconds. This is implemented with the
- * enable_work variable. We do this so we don't enable/disable PC8 dozens of
- * consecutive times when all screens are disabled and some background app
- * queries the state of our connectors, or we have some application constantly
- * waking up to use the GPU. Only after the enable_work function actually
- * enables PC8+ the "enable" variable will become true, which means that it can
- * be false even if disable_count is 0.
+ * Our driver uses the autosuspend delay feature, which means we'll only really
+ * suspend if we stay with zero refcount for a certain amount of time. The
+ * default value is currently very conservative (see intel_init_runtime_pm), but
+ * it can be changed with the standard runtime PM files frmo sysfs.
  *
  * The irqs_disabled variable becomes true exactly after we disable the IRQs and
  * goes back to false exactly before we reenable the IRQs. We use this variable
