I notice there are no I915 DRM patches in going into
4.4.x for a while.
Define "a while".
Not since 4.4.13, may I missed some path though.

I wonder if the inflow of such patches has stopped or if they are just
batched/saved for later?
I only see 5 pending i915 patches in my stable queue at the moment, not
I have a hard time seeing any i915 patches in your queue, must get glasses :)

many at all.ᅵᅵWas there something specific you were looking for that did
not get merged?

We have some HP Broadwell laptops which has a problem with external monitors,
they go blank/off intermittently. I think/hope this has been fixed upstream by now but I not sure.
One path caught my eye though was this:
ᅵ drm/i915: Revert DisplayPort fast link training feature
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/i915?id=34511dce4b3

Is that one in your queue?
Yes it is, I have not gotten to that one yet.

I did a quick backport of above patch for 4.4 and had a guy test it his laptop and it did
fix the problem :)
