[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix legacy gamma lut updates in Linux 4.7-rc6

[Lionel Landwerlin]

Hi Mario,

There was a couple of patch to fix this issue :

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/5467/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/5466/

I tested this late last week on drm-intel-nightly, it seems a series of 
revert fixed most of the issues.

Cheers,
