drm/i915/fbc: enable FBC by default on HSW and BDW
These platforms should be fine now. FBC can allow very significant power savings for screen-on idle systems, but it is worth mentioning that a lot of people won't get significant power savings by enabling this feature because they may have something else preventing the system from getting into the deepest sleep states. Examples may include a hungry wifi device or a max_performance SATA link power management policy. You can check your PC state residencies on the powertop "Idle stats" tab. I recommend trying to run "sudo powertop --auto-tune" and then seeing if the residencies improve. Oh, and in case you - the person reading this commit message - found this commit through git bisect, please do the following: - Check your dmesg and see if there are error messages mentioning underruns around the time your problem started happening. - Download intel-gpu-tools, compile it, and run: $ sudo ./tests/kms_frontbuffer_tracking --run-subtest '*fbc-*' 2>&1 | tee fbc.txt Then send us the fbc.txt file, especially if you get a failure. This will really maximize your chances of getting the bug fixed quickly. - Try to find a reliable way to reproduce the problem, and tell us. - Boot with drm.debug=0xe, reproduce the problem, then send us the dmesg file. v2: Don't enable by default on SKL.
