Thanks for explaining that Matt. This patch was just backported because
it introduced

void intel_pcode_init(struct drm_i915_private *i915)

which is needed to apply the patch 2 (the one i really care about)
without modifications.

I have two options now, still cherry-pick both like i did here. Where
we accept the fact that p1 is essentially a no-op. (1) Or i remove the
call to intel_pcode_init from p2 as i cherry-pick that. (2)

IMHO option 1 is better because p2 will apply and compile without
modification. So i will do that again, fix the double-From problems and
include a message why p1 is needed into the cover-letter.

regards,
Henning
