Subject: [PATCH 4.4 079/342] drm/i915: shut up gen8+ SDE irq dmesg noise

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit 97e5ed1111dcc5300a0f59a55248cd243937a8ab upstream.

We get tons of cases where the master interrupt handler apparently set
a bit, with the SDEIIR disagreeing. No idea what's going on there, but
it's consistent on gen8+, no one seems to care about it and it's
making CI results flaky.

Shut it up.

No idea what's going on here, but we've had fun with PCH interrupts
before:

    drm/i915: also disable south interrupts when handling them

Note that there's a regression report in Bugzilla, and other
regression reports on the mailing lists keep croping up. But no ill
effects have ever been reported. But for paranoia still keep the
message at a debug level as a breadcrumb, just in case.

This message was introduced in

commit 38cc46d73ed99dd7002f1406002e52d7975d16cc
