Enabling FBC on a plane having a Y-offset that isn't dividable by 4 may
cause pipe FIFO underruns and flickers, so disable FBC on such a config.
I tried to the followings to work around the issue:
- enable each HW work around in ILK_DPFC_CHICKEN
- disable each compression algorithm in ILK_DPFC_CONTROL
- disable low-power watermarks
None of the above got rid of the problem. I haven't found this issue in
the Bspec/WA database either.
Besides the igt testcase below (yet to be merged) an easy way to
reproduce the issue is to enable a plane with FBC and a plane Y-offset
not aligned to 4 and then just enable/disable FBC in a loop, keeping the
plane enabled.
I could trigger the problem on BXT/GLK/SKL, so assume for now that it's
only present on GEN9.
