Hrm. With SNB I would be tempted to blame the LP3 watermarks, but
4.20 already has commit 21556350ade3 ("drm/i915: Disable LP3 watermarks
on all SNB machines").

Can you file a bug at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI&component=DRM/Intel
and attach the full dmesg from the boot with drm.debug=0xe passed to the
kernel cmdline?
