[PATCH 0/7] drm/i915: Move some load time init steps earlier

[Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com>]

While working on the CDCLK init code I realized that the driver load time
dependencies between the different init steps are rather difficult to follow
and so it's not obvious where some new piece of initialization needs to be
added.

Also because some things are initialized too late, other steps depending on
these must be initialized in a non-logical place or even split into multiple
parts. One example is the CDCLK initialization which needs the display
callbacks to be set already, but those callbacks are setup only late, so the
CDCLK initialization must be done in two parts.

As a generic solution, I suggest that we define the following load
time init phases:
- state init not requiring device access
  (i.e SW only, like initializing locks, allocating system memory, setting
   up callbacks, device attributes)
- minimal HW setup to enable MMIO access to the device
- state init requiring device access w/o side effects
  (i.e. read-only HW access, no interface registrations)
- state init causing device-wide side effects
  (i.e any HW access, no interface registration)
- registering all interfaces

This patchset adds the corresponding comment markers for the first
two phases above and one common phase for the rest of the current
init steps. Later we could also add the last three init phases above
and restructure the code accordingly.

For now I only moved earlier a few obvious init steps that fit these
new phases.

I smoke tested this on GEN4, SNB, BXT.
