Hi,

I was checking drm-misc-next state using a HDMI 4k in a Raspberry Pi 4
and I see part of the screen being corrupted by moving the cursor to the
corners and bottom area - using drm-misc-next (a70abdd994c) + x11 +
`disable_overscan=1`. So, Maxime pointed this patch to me and, indeed,
it solves the issue.

I wonder if there is any chance of having this (or a next version)
upstream.

Thanks,

Melissa
