[Intel-gfx] [drm:intel_set_cpu_fifo_underrun_reporting]

[Petko Manolov]

	Hello guys,

Running xorg on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (MY2013) on recent kernels turn into a 
major PITA.  After a couple of minutes the screen starts to flicker and only 
killing xorg or reboot fixes the problem.  This is what i typically see in 
dmesg:

This is going on for all v4.6 kernel releases as well as v4.7-rcX.  Older, v4.4 
and v4.5, kernels are running fine.  I'm using Debian testing updated to 
2016-06-13.

I'd be happy to help with testing so please let me know if there's anything i 
can do for you.


cheers,
Petko
