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.quoted

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, notI have a hard time seeing any i915 patches in your queue, must get glasses :)quoted
many at all.ᅵᅵWas there something specific you were looking for that did not get merged? ᅵWe 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 5685d3988d5c8b100d11a068db5bd Is that one in your queue?Yes it is, I have not gotten to that one yet. ᅵ
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 :) ᅵ ᅵ Jocke
