The steering control and semaphore registers are inside an "always on" power domain with respect to RC6. However there are some issues if higher-level platform sleep states are entering/exiting at the same time these registers are accessed. Grabbing GT forcewake and holding it over the entire lock/steer/unlock cycle ensures that those sleep states have been fully exited before we access these registers. This is expected to become a formally documented/numbered workaround soon. Note that this patch alone isn't expected to have an immediately noticeable impact on MCR (mis)behavior; an upcoming pcode firmware update will also be necessary to provide the other half of this workaround. v2: - Move the forcewake inside the Xe_LPG-specific IP version check. This should only be necessary on platforms that have a steering semaphore.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
