Subject: [ 28/59] drm/i915: Sanitize BIOS debugging bits from PIPECONF

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

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

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit f47166d2b0001fcb752b40c5a2d4db986dfbea68 upstream.

Quoting the BSpec from time immemorial:

  PIPEACONF, bits 28:27: Frame Start Delay (Debug)

  Used to delay the frame start signal that is sent to the display planes.
  Care must be taken to insure that there are enough lines during VBLANK
  to support this setting.

An instance of the BIOS leaving these bits set was found in the wild,
where it caused our modesetting to go all squiffy and skewiff.
