Ok, caught up now, at least on dri-devel. There's 2 bug report mail
threads:
- A new one from Oleksandr, still being investigated.
- This one here where Sonika asked for some logs from Nick, but Nick has
  already provided those. Since then (24th Feb) nothing new seems to have
  happened.

There's also other threads in the past, but I think we have resolved them
all. I guess we need to start tracking all these in some JIRA? I'll bring
this up in tomorrow's display sync meeting.

Thanks, Daniel
