Hmm, maybe you're seeing a different problem. The issue that I saw was
fixed by commit 428c6e3630 in the git tree (this is identical to the
patch by Dave you're referring to above).

Does a "git-revert fe6f0bd03d697835e76dd18d232ba476c65b8282" solve your
problem?

It would be great if you could git-bisect the issue. Basically you just
need to run:

git bisect start
git bisect bad
git bisect good ecff4fcc7bbaf060646d2160123f8dc02605a047

build new kernel
(reboot)
and then run either "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad", depending on
whether you see the problem or not, and then repeat the last 3 items in
the list. (please see also "man git-bisect")

(That's no problem. But it is always a good idea to CC the people that
you're talking about and also the dri-devel list in this case)
