Besides the arch version returned by GRAPHICS_VER(), new platforms
contain a "release id" to make clear the difference from one platform to
another. Although for the first ones we may use them as if they were a

What does "first ones" refer to here?

major/minor version, that is not true for all platforms: we may have a
`release_id == n` that is closer to `n - 2` than to `n - 1`.

Hm this is a bit confusing. Is the sentence simply trying to say that,
as the release id number is growing, hw capabilities are not simply
accumulating but can be removed as well? Otherwise I am not sure how the
user of these macros is supposed to act on this sentence.

However the release id number is not defined by hardware until we start
using the GMD_ID register. For the platforms before that register is
useful we will set the values in software and we can set them as we
please. So the plan is to set them so we can group different features
under a single GRAPHICS_VER_FULL() check.

After GMD_ID is used, the usefulness of a "full version check" will be
greatly reduced and will be mostly used for deciding workarounds and a
few code paths. So it makes sense to keep it as a separate field from
graphics_ver.

Also, currently there is not much use for the release id in media and
display, so keep them out.

This is a mix of 2 independent changes: one by me and the other by Matt
Roper.

I get the VER and VER_FULL in the macros but could 'ver' and
'ver_release' here and in the code simply be renamed to 'ver'/'version'
and 'release'? Maybe it is just me but don't think I encountered the
term "version release" before.

Just bikeshedding here, but I thought of:

	if (info->grapics_ver_release)
		drm_printf(p, "graphics_ver: %u.%u\n", info->graphics_ver, info->graphics_ver_release);
	else
		drm_printf(p, "graphics_ver: %u\n", info->graphics_ver);

humn... a suggestion that I got internally a few week ago and I forgot
to update this was that this doesn't need to be abbreviated in debugfs
and could very well be:

	drm_printf(p, "graphics version: %u\n", info->graphics_ver);
	drm_printf(p, "graphics release: %u\n", info->graphics_ver_release);

Also, I thought "x_ver" and "x_ver_release" sounds a bit odd, perhaps
having "x_ver" and "x_rel" is more natural?

Not sure what direction to go now though. Maybe trying to put all
suggestions together:

	if (info->graphics_rel)
		drm_printf(p, "graphics version: %u.%u\n", info->graphics_ver, info->graphics_rel);
	else
		drm_printf(p, "graphics version: %u\n", info->graphics_ver);

One thing  I like is that doing `| grep "graphics version"`
gives all info you are searching for.
