[ 088/128] drm/i915: Remove the MI_FLUSH_ENABLE setting.

[Ben Hutchings]

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

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

From: Eric Anholt <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8d79c3490aecfe6e51f0ba6f9780746fb1434954 upstream.

We have always been using the wrong bit -- it's bit 12.  However, the
bit also doesn't do anything -- hardware has always accepted the
MI_FLUSH command even when it was specced not to.

Given that there is only one MI_FLUSH emitted in all of the driver
stack on gen6+ (in i965_video.c of the 2d driver, and it should be
using other code to do its flush instead), just remove the MI_FLUSH
enable instead of trying to fix it.
