    drm/i915: Make display workaround upper bounds exclusive · 46b0d709
    Matt Roper authored
    Workarounds are documented in the bspec with an exclusive upper bound
    (i.e., a "fixed" stepping that no longer needs the workaround).  This
    makes our driver's use of an inclusive upper bound for stepping ranges
    confusing; the differing notation between code and bspec makes it very
    easy for mistakes to creep in.
    
    Let's switch the upper bound of our IS_{GT,DISP}_STEP macros over to use
    an exclusive upper bound like the bspec does.  This also has the benefit
    of helping make sure workarounds are properly handled for new minor
    steppings that show up (e.g., an A1 between the A0 and B0 we already
    knew about) --- if the new intermediate stepping pulls in hardware fixes
    early, there will be an update to the workaround definition which lets
    us know we need to change our code.  If the new stepping does not pull a
    hardware fix earlier, then the new stepping will already be captured
    properly by the "[begin, fix)" range in the code.
    
    We'll probably need to be extra vigilant in code review of new
    workarounds for the near future to make sure developers notice the new
    semantics of workaround bounds.  But we just migrated a bunch of our
    platforms from the IS_REVID bounds over to IS_{GT,DISP}_STEP, so people
    are already adjusting to the new macros and now is a good time to make
    this change too.
