and in this case the ilk_wm_max_level() returns the right maximum size for the
corresponding 'struct wm' member:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:2993:int ilk_wm_max_level(const struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv)
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2994-{
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2995-   /* how many WM levels are we expecting */
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2996-   if (HAS_HW_SAGV_WM(dev_priv))
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2997-           return 5;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2998-   else if (DISPLAY_VER(dev_priv) >= 9)
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-2999-           return 7;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3000-   else if (IS_HASWELL(dev_priv) || IS_BROADWELL(dev_priv))
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3001-           return 4;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3002-   else if (DISPLAY_VER(dev_priv) >= 6)
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3003-           return 3;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3004-   else
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3005-           return 2;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3006-}

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:3009:static void intel_print_wm_latency(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv,
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3010-                              const char *name,
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3011-                              const u16 wm[])
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3012-{
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3013-   int level, max_level = ilk_wm_max_level(dev_priv);
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3014-
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3015-   for (level = 0; level <= max_level; level++) {
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3016-           unsigned int latency = wm[level];
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c-3017-
...
}

still GCC warns about this with Wstringop-overread, as it is explained
in commit e7c6e405e171.
