[Intel-gfx] v4.3-rc4: i915: ThinkPad Yoga 12: *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!

[Darren Hart]

The Debian 3.16.0 kernel does not emit the error, but I have not attempted a
bisection.

The warning was added by:
38cc46d drm/i915/bdw: Ack interrupts before handling them (GEN8)
 2014-06-18 (1 year, 4 months ago), Oscar Mateo <oscar.mateo at intel.com>

Follows: v3.15-rc8
Preceedes: 3.17-rc1

This is not present in v3.16, so perhaps not present in the Debian kernel and
this is not a regression, but just reporting the condition as intended.

Linux Version: v4.3-rc4
Platform: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12
OS: Debian 8.2
