** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
  An error dialog will be shown after user login to the desktop environment.
  The error is :
  
  The intel_reg_dumper raise SIGABRT on Intel ValleyView Gen7 [8086:0f31]
  platform.
  
+ Bumping intel-gpu-tools to 1.7 as SRU is unrealistic, and backporting
+ new hw support didn't fix it, so the easiest way to work around this
+ issue is to not abort() when it fails to detect the chip gen related
+ register maps. This should prevent core dumps and the crash reports.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
  This issue can be reproduced by running the command:
  
  # sudo intel_reg_dumper
  Gen2/3 Ranges are not supported. Please use unsafe access. (Core dump)
  
+ [Regression potential]
+ None really, it just won't dump core which hardly anything relies on..
