The problem still occurs with kernel 5.18-rc2 and to all stable trees where it was applied. Can somebody explains what happens ?
The video card is the following: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Please tell me if you need more info.
That's commit 15512021eb39 ("drm/i915: Workaround broken BIOS DBUF configuration on TGL/RKL"), adding Cc's.
Please file a report at fdo gitlab [1] and attach dmesg etc. there.
That commit looks like it is just disabling all the planes, if wrong dbuf/wm configuration is detected. However it should do that only once during boot as I understand.
Are you sure that is exactly this commit which is causing this? Does the issue appear always?
Ville Syrjälä, thoughts?
Stan
Thanks, Jani.
