Re: [REGRESSION] Re: i915 driver crashes on T540p if docking station attached

(long time lurker, first time poster)

This (because the dock has a DP MST hub built in) reminds me of this
crash w/ my W540 - which I think are pretty similar hardware:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180747

Not enough of a coder to really troubleshoot, but I've got a dock, a MST
hub, and I'm willing to compile & test patches.  I've mostly left the HW
... disused because I was disgusted that my W530 could drive four
displays at once, and the W540 appears incapable due to the Intel chip
only supporting 3 CRTCs.

How can I help?
