[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/1] drm/i915: Enable fastset by default, except on initial modeset

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

As discussed a while ago, I would like to see us enable fastboot by
default, starting with Skylake / GEN9 and newer hardware, so that we can
avoid an unnecessary modeset at boot and move to a truely flickerfree boot.

During our previous discussion about this Maarten mentioned that a first
step would be to get this patch from him upstream. So I'm hereby
resubmitting it, with a small fix. Hopefully the CI will like it better
this time (if not we will need to investigate) and once this passes CI
I hope this can be reviewed quickly and we can get this upstream.

I will also be sending out a follow-up patch which actually makes fastboot
the default on GEN9 and newer, I will mark that as RFC for now since based
on our previous discussion this patch should be landed first.

Regards,

Hans
