[Regression] Panel flickering on Dell XPS 13 9360 with drm-fixes-2025-06-28 merged (Linux 6.16-rc4)

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Linux folks,


Just a heads-up, that very likely, merging of branch 
*drm-fixes-2025-06-28* causes flickering of the panel of the Intel Kaby 
Lake laptop Dell XPS 13 9360. 6.16.0-rc3 works fine, and with 
6.16-rc3-00329-gdfba48a70cb6 the panel flickers. I try to bisect, but 
maybe you already have an idea.


Kind regards,

Paul
