Do display work only on platforms with display. This avoids holding the
runtime PM wakeref for an additional 100+ ms after GT has been parked.

Feels like something's wrong if you need both of those.

Don't think so:

	/* Only valid when HAS_DISPLAY() is true */
	#define INTEL_DISPLAY_ENABLED(dev_priv) \
		(drm_WARN_ON(&(dev_priv)->drm, !HAS_DISPLAY(dev_priv)),         \
	         !(dev_priv)->params.disable_display &&                         \
	         !intel_opregion_headless_sku(dev_priv))

Maybe inside display code INTEL_DISPLAY_ENABLED is sufficient since code
paths have previously invoked HAS_DISPLAY, but not in non-display code.

AFAIR this workaround is only needed when DMC is loaded so I wonder if we could detect that instead?

Although then I am not sure why we haven't done it like that from the start. Maybe there was a good reason and I just can't remember it.

Looking at the history, b68763741aa2 ("drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded") which added the workaround did not add the 100ms delay. That was added later in 81ff52b70577 ("drm/i915/gt: Ratelimit display power w/a"). That part sounds like it makes sense - if there is cost in these transitions usual approach is too add some hysteresis. (And AFAIR in this particular case it was actually a matter or re-adding the hysteresis which was lost once GEM idle work handler approach was removed.)

So I guess the main question is can we guard this with (ideally something better than) HAS_DMC. Perhaps back then GPUs wo/ display were simply not in our minds? Or obtaining the "DC off" power well was perhaps a no-op in it's own right when there is no display? If that was the case and isn't any more would that be feasible to re-add?
