Dropping it because it is for pre-production stepping.

Hum, why have we added a pre-pro w/a without a stepping check... should
we backport this to stable kernels? What's the impact on production
hardware with vs. without the w/a?

The original patch that added pre-production comment is very old.

    drm/i915/bdw: Remove BDW preproduction W/As until C stepping.

    Let's clean this a bit

v2: Rebase after other Mika's patch that removed some BDW production workarounds.
    v3: Removed stepping info.


For BDW it is only applicable UNTIL_D0. According to hsd it is related to a hang in emulation but I am checking with HW team to understand its impact (if any) better in production steppings.

Arun
