Workarounds are documented in the bspec with an exclusive upper bound
(i.e., a "fixed" stepping that no longer needs the workaround). This
makes our driver's use of an inclusive upper bound for stepping ranges
confusing; the differing notation between code and bspec makes it very
easy for mistakes to creep in.
Let's switch the upper bound of our IS_{GT,DISP}_STEP macros over to use
an exclusive upper bound like the bspec does. This also has the benefit
of helping make sure workarounds are properly handled for new minor
steppings that show up (e.g., an A1 between the A0 and B0 we already
knew about) --- if the new intermediate stepping pulls in hardware fixes
early, there will be an update to the workaround definition which lets
us know we need to change our code. If the new stepping does not pull a
hardware fix earlier, then the new stepping will already be captured
properly by the "[begin, fix)" range in the code.
We'll probably need to be extra vigilant in code review of new
workarounds for the near future to make sure developers notice the new
semantics of workaround bounds. But we just migrated a bunch of our
platforms from the IS_REVID bounds over to IS_{GT,DISP}_STEP, so people
are already adjusting to the new macros and now is a good time to make
this change too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
