drm/i915: Workaround CHV pipe C cursor fail
Turns out CHV pipe C was glued on somewhat poorly, and there's something wrong with the cursor. If the cursor straddles the left screen edge, and is then moved away from the edge or disabled, the pipe will often underrun. If enough underruns are triggered quickly enough the pipe will fall over and die (it just scans out a solid color and reports a constant underrun). We need to turn the disp2d power well off and on again to recover the pipe. None of that is very nice for the user, so let's just refuse to place the cursor in the compromised position. The ddx appears to fall back to swcursor when the ioctl returns an error, so theoretically there's no loss of functionality for the user (discounting swcursor bugs). I suppose most cursors images actually have the hotspot not exactly at 0,0 so under typical conditions the fallback will in fact kick in as soon as the cursor touches the left edge of the screen. Any atomic compositor should anyway be prepared to fall back to GPU composition when things don't work out, so there should be no problem with those. Other things that I tried to solve this include flipping all display related clock gating knobs I could find, increasing the minimum gtt alignment all the way up to 512k. I also tried to see if there are more specific screen coordinates that hit the bug, but the findings were somewhat inconclusive. Sometimes the failures happen almost across the whole left edge, sometimes more at the very top and around the bottom half. I wasn't able to find any real pattern to these variations, so it seems our only choice is to just refuse to straddle the left screen edge at all.
