Chris Wilson (4): drm/i915: Only enable the plane after setting the fb base (pre-ILK)
This patch introduces a bug on my infamous "Acer Travelmate 5735Z-452G32Mnss": when KMS takes over, the frame buffer contents get completely garbled up on screen, with colored stripes and unreadable text (photo on request). Only when X11 is started, the screen gets restored again. Closing and re-opening the lid partly cures the mess, too: it makes the font readable, though horizontally stretched.
Reverting 49183b2818de6899383bb82bc032f9344d6791ff fixes the bug.
This got fixed after my bug report, but now it's back with exactly the same description. Bisection result to come ...
