parentdrm/i915/gvt: Enable async flip on plane surface mmio writes (diff)
parentdrm/i915: Update DRIVER_DATE to 20190404 (diff)
Merge tag 'drm-intel-next-2019-04-04' into gvt-next
Merge back drm-intel-next for engine name definition refinement and 54939ea0bd85 ("drm/i915: Switch to use HWS indices rather than addresses") that would need gvt fixes to depend on. Signed-off-by: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyuw@linux.intel.com>

+ * But this can lead to bugs due to typos, or if prefix is a pointer
+ * and not a constant. Instead use str_has_prefix().

+ strlen(@prefix) if @str does start with @prefix
