Commit c9f038a1a592 ("drm/i915: Don't assume primary & cursor are always on for wm calculation (v4)") fixes a null pointer dereference. Setting the primary and cursor panes to false in ilk_compute_wm_parameters to false does however give the following errors in the kernel log and causes the screen to flicker. [ 101.133716] [drm:intel_set_cpu_fifo_underrun_reporting [i915]] *ERROR* uncleared fifo underrun on pipe A [ 101.133725] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun Always setting the panes to enabled fixes this error.
