Small omission on my part : I meant 4.19.12, not 4.19.2 as the last working version. Also, I can confirm that reverting 13947d150bae871bd880565ada318b0bcd0e690e from the current HEAD of linux-stable fixes the issue.

Hello. After upgrading the kernel to 4.20, I noticed that the boot time increased from about 5 seconds to 25 seconds. My machine is an Asus K53SV with an Intel i7-2630QM, i.e. Sandy Bridge. I have an external display connected to it via HDMI. If the display is unplugged when booting the machine, the boot time stays at its old value. The kernel log shows two messages like this :
[ 15.747206] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:39:pipe A] flip_done timed out [ 26.198968] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:39:pipe A] flip_done timed out
Which are the only ones that don't appear in 4.19.2, where the boot time was smaller. Bisecting the commits between these two versions leads to commit 516a49cc19467e298d08a404f73a6e311f4548d1.
Let me know if you need more information.
Kind regards, Daniel
