The bspec documents EHL and JSL as being the same platform and identical in all programming since they are literally the same display IP; this vswing table is the one and only place where the two are treated in a distinct manner for reasons that lie outside the display controller. If you had to stop and take a closer look at the code here, that's a probably a good thing since in general there should generally never be a difference in the behavior between the two. Adding an additional clarifying comment is probably in order too since this is a very exceptional special case. If we deviate from the bspec's guidance and try to split IS_ELKHARTLAKE and IS_JASPERLAKE across the whole driver, that's going to be a lot more pain to maintain down the road since we'll almost certainly have cases where someone silently leaves one or the other off a condition and gets unexepcted behavior. I could see arguments for using a SUBPLATFORM here like we do for TGL_U vs TGL_Y, but even that seems like overkill if we already have a clear way to distinguish the two cases (PCH pairing) and can just leave a clarifying comment.
