[Why] Read modify write hazards can occur when using a single shared scratch register between driver and firmware leading to driver accessing DCN in IPS2 and a system hang. [How] Add infrastructure for using REGION6 as a shared firmware state between driver and firmware. This region is uncachable. Replace the existing get/set idle calls with reads/writes to the (volatile) shared firmware state blocks that a separated by at least a cache line between firmware and driver. Remove the workarounds that required rewriting/checking read modify write hazards.

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.
