        <div>
        <pre>After upgrading from 4.9.61 there's an intermittent flicker when entering the
first character in a terminal, editor, input-box or even randomly without any
action from my side.

dmesg shows:

...
[drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun
[drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
[drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe B FIFO underrun
[drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder B FIFO underrun
...

CPU: Intel Core i3

Can't bisect this at the moment but I've seen this before:
<a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_CLOSED  bz_closed"
   title="CLOSED FIXED - drm/i915: Intermittent flicker (bisected)"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=97283">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97283</a>

A bad i915-related backport, I think.</pre>
