drm/i915/skl: Fix has_ipc on skl and document WaDisableIPC.
According to Spec for SKL+: "Isochronous Priority Control. If enabled, Display sends demoted requests once the transition watermark is reached. If transition watermark is not enabled, Display sends demoted requests when the display buffer is full." The commit 'e57f1c02 ("drm/i915/gen9+: Add has_ipc flag in device info structure")' introduced that as gen9+ but missing many SKL Skus. I believe the reason for that is Spec also mentions workarounds for SKL-ALL: "IPC (Isoch Priority Control) may cause underflows WA: Do not enable IPC in register ARB_CTL2" It seems lame to add the feature and forever disable it, but it will avoid a mistake of enabling it when we are reorganizing the feature definitions on i915_pci.c later. It will also allow us to probably extend that workaround for other platforms.
