Subject: [PATCH 09/10] drm/i915/bdw: poll semaphores
Date: Wed,  7 May 2014 10:27:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399483626-7540-10-git-send-email-benjamin.widawsky@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399483626-7540-1-git-send-email-benjamin.widawsky@intel.com>

As Ville points out, it's possible/probable we don't actually need this.
Potentially, this validates the letter of the spec, and not the spirit.

Ville:
> I discussed this on irc w/ Ben, and I was suggesting we don't need to
> poll. Polling apparently can be used as a workaround for certain
> hardware issues, but it looks like those issues shouldn't affect us,
> for the momemnt at least. So my suggestion was to try w/o polling
> first (since there could be some power cost to polling) and add the
> poll bit if problems arise.
