To anyone keeping track of regressions in kernel 4.7, I call your attention to

This bug causes driver i915 to fail to connect to the display, and results in
a blank screen as soon as the kernel is loaded. The only way to operate with
kernel 4.7 is to add "nomodeset" to the command line. The problem was bisected
to commit f21a21983ef13a ("drm/i915: Splitting intel_dp_detect").
Daniel? Jani? Time to revert?
Yup. Means that I'll get to revert a pile of patches (plus even more
in -next), but that's what we get for not handling regressions timely.
Dave poked me about the same bug already too. But will take a few days
until the pull is in your inbox I guess.
I attached a oneliner to the bug today, that I *think* should fix the
problem.
Unfortunately, that patch did not help. If you have any other patches, or a repo
I can pull from for testing, please let me know.
Larry
