Subject: Backporting skl_update_other_pipe_wm intel drm fixes to the Fedora 4.6 kernel
Hi Fedora kernel team,
If you look at:
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/problems/
And look for skl_update_other_pipe_wm there, you will see
that it is completely dominating the problem report stats
(listed 4 times on the first page, 5 times on the second).
I talked to #intel-gfx, they said the warn was pretty harmless and we could
also just propose a stable patch to drop that warning.
Though I'm also okay with backporting fixes.
Dave.
