Hi
This patch (in drm-next and drm-intel-nightly) stops my system from booting, I don't see any errors, just a black screen and a reboot after the kernel has been selected
I have confirmed that reverting this patch gets those two branches working again
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - I'm guessing this is PRIME related
