Since the watermark calculations for Skylake are still broken, we're apt

While it would be lovely if this was fixed, it's not. Another problem
that's been coming from this however, is the mysterious issue of
underruns causing full system hangs. An easy way to reproduce this with
a skylake system:

- Get a laptop with a skylake GPU, and hook up two external monitors to
  it
- Move the cursor from the built-in LCD to one of the external displays
  as quickly as you can
- You'll get a few pipe underruns, and eventually the entire system will
  just freeze.

After doing a lot of investigation and reading through the bspec, I
found the existence of the SAGV, which is responsible for adjusting the
system agent voltage and clock frequencies depending on how much power
we need. According to the bspec:

"The display engine access to system memory is blocked during the
 adjustment time. SAGV defaults to enabled. Software must use the
 GT-driver pcode mailbox to disable SAGV when the display engine is not
 able to tolerate the blocking time."

The rest of the bspec goes on to explain that software can simply leave
the SAGV enabled, and disable it when we use interlaced pipes/have more
then one pipe active.

Sure enough, with this patchset the system hangs resulting from pipe
underruns on Skylake have completely vanished on my T460s. Additionally,
the bspec mentions turning off the SAGV	with more then one pipe enabled
as a workaround for display underruns. While this patch doesn't entirely
fix that, it looks like it does improve the situation a little bit so
it's likely this is going to be required to make watermarks on Skylake
fully functional.

Changes since v4:
 - Use is_power_of_2 against active_crtcs to check whether we have > 1
   pipe enabled
 - Fix skl_sagv_get_hw_state(): (temp & 0x1) indicates disabled, 0x0
   enabled
 - Call skl_sagv_enable/disable() from pre/post-plane updates

This seems to not do what you want it to do, if I'm reading your changes
and the original code correct:

Here you are enabling the sagv if the *old* state allows it
(0 or 1 pipes active).

But judging from previous patches / the commit msg the
intent is to enable the sag if the *new* state allows
it, not the old one.

See e.g. the checks for calling intel_post_enable_primary()
which use both primary_state and old_primary_state

Also if you're going to respin you may want to switch
to using hweight as mentioned before, then you can simply
do something like (hamming_weight(active_crtcs) <= 1) as
condition to check for 0 or 1 active crtcs instead of
having 2 checks. Note please double check my logic here.

Same thing, you're disabling the sagv if the old state
disallows it, but I believe you should be looking at the new
state instead.
