that's a lost child I'm afraid. It's essentially the same patch I 
submitted late last year. It got review ok from Matt, and I thought it was 
going to be merged and went on to do other things -- i.e. I failed to 
follow-up on this. Back then I did not know about any actual bugs this 
would fix -- this was a generic change to align with hw specs.

Fast forward two months. I had forgotten about that previous patch, and 
I ended up recreating the same patch to fix an actual bug. I.e. the of 
this thread:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/74664/

I only very recently noticed the old patch. But alas, the new attempt 
is probably the one that should be merged as it has more information in 
the commit message (we now know about actual issues on JSL).

Ack, thanks a lot, this clarifies. In any case, patch author should own 
the follow-up and I definitely dropped the ball on the older #347148 .
