BIOS disables PSR, my guess is that fastboot inherits that state. A quick way
to verify would be to check i915_edp_psr_status or dmesg with drm.debug=14 at
Plymouth's login. And compare this to a boot without i915.fastboot=1. Can you
please attach dmesg for the both test cases?
Btw, you shouldn't be needing i915.enable_psr=1 on drm-tip. PSR should be
enabled by default on a KBL refresh.</pre>
