Applied suggested patch on top of 62444b7462a2b98bc78d68736c03a7c4e66ba7e2 and
it doesn't fix it.

By the way, I confirmed it is exactly as <a class="bz_bug_link

   title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - Latest radeon dri driver on HD6950 with GRUB set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode put the display in a flickering state"
