From d43537610470d8829ebd17cd7842f47176e35ebd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paulo Zanoni Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 12:55:37 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: skip the first 4k of stolen memory on everything >= gen8 BSpec got updated and this workaround is now listed as standard required programming for all subsequent projects. This is confirmed to fix Skylake screen flickering issues (probably caused by the fact that we initialized a ring in the first page of stolen, but I didn't 100% confirm this theory). v2: this is the patch that fixes the screen flickering, document it.
