hmm... to be really honest I'm not so happy that we are introducing a new criteria to the force_probe.
The criteria was to have a functional driver and not to track uapi.
But on the other hand I do recognize that the current definition of the flag allows that, because we have established that with this behavior, the "driver for new Intel graphics devices that are recognized but not properly supported by this kernel version" (as stated in the Kconfig for the DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE).

I think no, RKL has relocations disabled so we cannot put it to TGL side. So if RKL is already released then putting it under require_force_probe flag is wrong and only I can do is to remove it from that condition. There's no option to unblock RKL on IGT CI until we rewrite all the tests. We have to rely then on ADL* with require_force_probe flag to check how ADL will work with relocations.

We're blind right now about driver behavior and we want to address this - temporary enable relocations on ADL (under flag) to see if driver works properly on that platform.
Okay, so I believe we need a bigger code refactor here. Whenever we attempt to use the relocation but we are on ADL we need to have a big bold message saying this should not be used. That this code path is deprecated and getting removed...
My fear is that after adding this some UMD, other than IGT, would start using relocation back again and then the removal of require_force_probe of ADL would mean regression and we would need to support that forever again.
Ideally a bold drm_warn, but I understand this might impact CI so at least a drm_info with capital letters...

That means I don't understand the meaning of that flag. I thought it is to enforce probe of driver on platform which behavior is not already well defined and we want to "try" driver on it.
The goal of the flag is to protect end users to get a unstable driver support. In special, linux installer .iso images where driver cannot be updated... if user gets a old .iso with driver from the enabling times and a brand new platform, the installation migh hang or get blank screens. It was a nightmare in the past.
But the flag was never intended to be used with UAPI decisions, so this case here is changing this...
