drm/i915/skl: Refuse to load outdated dmc firmware
There is known issue on GT interrupt delivery with DC6 and firmwares <1.21. There is a suspicion that this causes spurious gpu hangs on driver init and with some workloads, as upgrading the firmware to 1.21 makes these problems disappear. As of now the current version included in distribution firmware packages is very like to be 1.19. Play it safe and refuse to load a firmware version that may affect gpu side stability. With < 1.23 there is a palette and dmc ram corruption issue so blacklist anything below that. v2: Refuse to load fw instead of notifying the user v3: Rebase on header version changes v4: Refuse to load anything less than 1.23 v5: Give enough information for user for finding correct fw (Chris) v6: better url and formatting (Chris) v7: move error log for each fail path (Mika) bail out earlier in load path (Imre) v8: Fix the version check (Imre) Cc: Animesh Manna <animesh.manna@intel.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Cc: Arun Siluvery <arun.siluvery@linux.intel.com> Cc: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Cc: Patrik Jakobsson <patrik.jakobsson@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@gmail.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> References: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/skldmcver121 References: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/skylake-dmc-1.23 Testcase: igt/gem_exec_nop Signed-off-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1446220336-32392-1-git-send-email-mika.kuoppala@intel.com Tested-by: Daniel Stone <daniels@collabora.com> # SKL Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>
