We really want to have fastboot enabled by default to avoid an ugly
modeset during boot.

Rather then enabling it everywhere, lets start with enabling it on
Skylake and newer.

I believe at this point you both addressed all of my concerns.
And CI is happy. Let's give a try ;)

Great, thank you.

On IRC Maarten asked me about if we should also enable this for
VLV/CHV. As you may know, as a spare time/weekend project, I've been
working on making Linux support Bay and Cherry Trail based hardware,
better. As such I've about 40 different devices with these SoCs and
I've tested fastboot=1 on all of them. fastboot=1 not only works on
all of them, on 2 devices the display goes black when we have
fastboot=0 for some reason which I've been unable to figure out.
These 2 devices do survive a full-modeset just fine after the initial
one ?

So my response to Maarten was, yes we should enable fastboot=1 by
default on VLV/CHV too and I plan to submit a follow-up patch for
that once we have agreement on this patch.

Maarten suggested to just go for enabling it on gen7+ instead of
the current gen9+.

I personally tend towards merging this patch with your
Reviewed-by + doing a follow-up patch for just VLV/CHV, but
Maarten prefers doing the gen7+ solution, what is your take on this?

I've gone ahead and pushed this patch to dinq now. I will post a
follow-up patch to also enable fastboot on VLV/CHV.

Then once this mix has seen enough testing out there (and assuming the
testing goes well) then we can try to change to enabling fastboot
by default on gen7+.

Regards,

Hans
