I'm not sure why some WAs have historically been applied in init_clock_gating
and some others in the engine setup (GT vs. display? context vs. global
registers?) but it does not look like the best place to apply workarounds:
the name is confusing, it's a display function (even though some GT WAs
also go here) and it isn't necessarily called on a GPU reset. This patch
moves these WAs to their rightful place inside i915_workarounds.c.

TODO: Do we want to keep display WAs separated from GT ones? In that case,
I would propose another category inside i915_workarounds.c (but I would need
help deciding what goes where).
The current situation isn't very good. But neither really is moving
display stuff into something called gem_init_hw(). It also gets called
during GPU reset which is at the very least wasted effort when it comes
to display w/as, and could even be actively harmful in case we end up
clobbering something the current display configuration depends on.


Ok, fully agree. I'm sending a new version with separate GT and Display workarounds.

Thanks!
Oscar
