Hmm. The definition of these bits is definitely peculiar. Unfortunately
the spec doesn't seem to explain them. First I though bit 0 might be
more of an ack bit, but then why would we set it for the "enable" request?

I'd maybe do s/DYNAMIC_FREQ/ENABLE/ to make it more clear what is the
counterpart to DISABLE.

It doesn't actually say that AFAICS. What it says is the *if* you
guarantee that in single pipe mode you never run afoul of the SAGV
block time (30us on SKL), then you can simply disable SAGV depending
on the number of active pipes. I guess that can sort of imply that you
shouldn't enable it with multiple pipes, but it's a very vague way of
saying that for sure.

Then it goes on to say something that if you can't enable watermark
levels with latency>=SAGV block time, then you shouldn't enable SAGV
either. I would interpret that so that you have to have to have
enabled at least the first watermark level with higher latency than
the SAGV block time, since that means the plane can tolerate also
the SAGV block time.

Eg. on one SKL I have the following WM latencies:
WM0 latency 2 (2.0 usec)
WM1 latency 19 (19.0 usec)
WM2 latency 28 (28.0 usec)
WM3 latency 32 (32.0 usec)
WM4 latency 63 (63.0 usec)
WM5 latency 77 (77.0 usec)
WM6 latency 83 (83.0 usec)
WM7 latency 99 (99.0 usec)

So if we can't enable WM3 for all of the active planes, then we should
not enable SAGV. But if all planes can enable WM3 or higher, we can
also enable SAGV.

Anyways, doing it all properly seems like a bit more work, so we can
definitely leave it for a future improvement.

Was that supposed to check for NOT_CONTROLLED?

printk can be outside the mutex.

Why are we printing errors both here and in the caller?

same question about NOT_CONTROLLED

this printk can move up as well

The ret/result thing here looks messy. Maybe deal with 'ret' first,
and the with 'result':

if (ret) {
	DRM_ERROR...
	return ret;
}

switch (result) {
case -EINVAL:
	...
case 0:
case 1:
	...
default:
	...
}

or whatever are all the different cases you want to distinguish. Or did
I miss some subtle logic here?
