drm/i915/mtl: Add hardware-level lock for steering
Starting with MTL, the driver needs to not only protect the steering control register from simultaneous software accesses, but also protect against races with hardware/firmware agents. The hardware provides a dedicated locking mechanism to support this via the MTL_STEER_SEMAPHORE register. Reading the register acts as a 'trylock' operation; the read will return 0x1 if the lock is acquired or 0x0 if something else is already holding the lock; once acquired, writing 0x1 to the register will release the lock. We'll continue to grab the software lock as well, just so lockdep can track our locking; assuming the hardware lock is behaving properly, there should never be any contention on the software lock in this case. v2: - Extend hardware semaphore timeout and add a taint for CI if it ever happens (this would imply misbehaving hardware/firmware). (Mika) - Add "MTL_" prefix to new steering semaphore register.
