ok, this is what works:
==========
$ git diff
diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.
index 64fd644..645581f 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c
@@ -495,10 +495,15 @@ int intel_opregion_setup(struct drm_device *dev)
opregion->acpi = base + OPREGION_ACPI_OFFSET;
}
+return 0; // rday
+
if (mboxes & MBOX_SWSCI) {
DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("SWSCI supported\n");
opregion->swsci = base + OPREGION_SWSCI_OFFSET;
}
+
+return 0; // rday

if (mboxes & MBOX_ASLE) {
DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("ASLE supported\n");
opregion->asle = base + OPREGION_ASLE_OFFSET;
==========
*first*, i added the *later* "return 0", and still got the black
screen. i then added the one *above* that, and got a good boot, so
one therefore concludes that it's the "SWSCI" processing that's
causing the problem. of course, that says nothing about whether or
not the later "ASLE" check could be re-enabled, or does that even make
any sense?
in any event, what's above works. next?
