-Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Gen4+ has non-power-of-two strides
-
-In c2e0eb16707, we started checking that the buffer was the correct size
-for tiled access by ensuring that the size was a multiple of tiles.
-However, gen4+ complicates the issue by allowing any multiple of 4096
-bytes for the stride and so the simple check based on a power-of-two
-stride was failing for valid bo.
