Hi,

I noticed that a HSW laptop gets a few new warnings since 4.2-rc
kernels.  One error messages pops at each boot time:

 Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25
 [drm] Replacing VGA console driver
 [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013).
 [drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.
 vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI:0000:00:02.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem
 [drm:drm_calc_timestamping_constants [drm]] *ERROR* crtc 21: Can't calculate constants, dotclock = 0!


Then a warning when I start powertop:

 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1674 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c:889 drm_atomic_get_property+0x232/0x2b0 [drm]()

Both don't look like serious issues, but not sexy to see at each time.


thanks,
