Avoid any kind of GuC handling if GuC is not supported
on a giving platform.

Besides being useless handling, our driver needs
to be smarter than the user trying to use an invalid paramenter.

So the problem is when a platform doesn't support guc and the user
passes i915.enable_guc_something=1, right?

Instead of this, how about we just patch the code below with:

if (!HAS_GUC(dev_priv)) {
	i915.enable_guc_loading = 0;
	i915.enable_guc_submission = 0;
} else {
	/* A negative value means "use platform default" */
	if (i915.enable_guc_loading < 0)
		i915.enable_guc_loading = HAS_GUC_UCODE(dev_priv);
	if (i915.enable_guc_submission < 0)
		i915.enable_guc_submission = HAS_GUC_SCHED(dev_priv);
}

Or we could even go with our current "design pattern" and create
intel_sanitize_guc_options().

This way we'll be able to avoid adding a second failure code path,
since we already have one for platforms with guc but options disabled.

1 is not a problem actually since it means "use if available". There is
not firmware and execution continues.

2 is the problem because it means "use guc or fail if not available".
But platforms that don't have guc can't fail. driver needs to be smarter
than that.

yeap, this works as well. I just went for the simplest option that
minimized at most any interactions for platforms where GuC simply
doesn't exist.

This is indeed a very good idea.

Not sure it needs to be smarter than that really, since all these debug
options auto-taint the kernel if you touch them. As in: You get to keep
all the pieces.

We can still do some auto-cleanup of modoptions ofc if there's a good need
for them.

Hi Daniel,

So, can we close https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97573 with
wontfix or notabug?

I don't have a strong side on that actually, but Jani was against it it
seems.

Thanks,
Rodrigo.

Just my opinion:

Considering that we already identified the problem and the fix is
simple, I really think it's better to just fix it. In fact I thought
you were going to submit V2 and I was planning to do the review.

Fixing this may help reducing future bug triaging time, because if we
keep the problem unfixed we may get the same bug report again and again
and again. It's easy to say "users get to keep all the pieces of the
broken kernel", but we usually have to triage the problems regardless,
discuss what to do, etc.

All, please stop the discussion and just do one or the other. I'll ack
either approach.
