drm/i915: vlv: don't unmask IIR[DISPLAY_PIPE_A/B_VBLANK] interrupt
Bspec and the code suggests that the interrupt signaled by IIR[7,5] (DISPLAY_PIPE_A/B_VBLANK) is a first level IRQ flag for the second level PIPEA/BSTAT[2] (Start of Vertical Blank) interrupt. Measuring the relative timings of when IIR[7] and PIPEASTAT[1,2] get set and checking the effect of unmasking different pipestat and IIR events shows that this isn't so: First, ISR/IIR[7] gets set independently of PIPEASTAT[18] (Start of Vertical Blank Enable) or any other pipestat enable bit, so it isn't a first level IRQ bit showing the state of PIPEASTAT[2], but is connected directly to the timing generator. Second, setting only PIPEASTAT[18] and leaving all other pipestat events disabled, IIR[6] (DISPLAY_PIPE_A_EVENT) gets set close to the moment when PIPEASTAT[2] gets set, so the former is a first level interrupt flag for the latter. The bspec is rather unclear about this, but I also assume that IIR[6] signals all pipestat A events, except PIPEASTAT[31] (FIFO Under-run Status). Third, IIR[7] is set close to the moment when PIPEASTAT[1] (Framestart Interrupt) gets set, in the mode I used about 12usec after PIPEASTAT[2] and IIR[6] gets set. This means the IIR[7] isn't marking the start of vblank, but rather signals the framestart event. Based on the above, we don't need to unmask IIR[7] when waiting for start of vblank events, but we can rely on IIR[6] being always unmasked, which will signal when PIPEASTAT[2] gets set. Doing this will also get rid of the overhead of getting an interrupt and servicing IIR[7], which is atm raised always some time after IIR[6]/PIPEASTAT[2] is raised.
