Hi,

while looking at the (semi-generic) force wake code in the function
gen6_gt_force_wake_get(), I noticed that if the platform doesn't provide
a low-level forcewake register-access function, then we omit the PM
get/put calls as well.

Does anyone know whether this is intentional, or just an accident of the
current implementation? Presumably we don't have any platforms where
this applies, but we is it plausible that some future device might want
the runtime PM effects without actually having h/w support
for forcewake?

Alternatively, why do we need the runtime PM calls in here? I can see
Paolo's commit "c8c8fb3 drm/i915: add some runtime PM get/put calls"
added lots of get/put pairs round various sequences of operations in
debugfs etc, so why do we also need them at this inner level? Is it just
to catch any cases where the caller should have (but didn't) deal with
runtime PM already?

Thanks,
Dave
