Doesn't look ok yet.

So previously I had "[PATCH 2/8] drm/i915: don't wait for vblank after
enabling pipe on HSW", which removes a wait_for_vblank on HSW.

Then on "[PATCH 7/8] drm/i915: remove wait_for_vblank argument form
intel_enable_pipe" we just change the function parameters without
changing the function behavior.

With this, if we bisect something to patch 2 we know the problem is
that we stopped waiting for a vblank, and if we bisect to patch 7 we
know the problem is something else.

But since you just skipped patch 2, patch 7 is now more than just a
coding style change: it actually does what patch 2 was supposed to do.
So in a way, we can say patch 2 is not really necessary, but it was
written weeks before patch 7, and patch 7 should be just a result of
the review comments.

And the version of "drm/i915: don't wait for vblank after enabling
pipe on HSW" which you just committed as a last patch instead of
second patch (the one that changes the argument to
intel_crtc_update_cursor) is just plain wrong. That needs to be
reverted. So either we add the original patch 2 at the right place, or
we completely discard it...

I know it's common to change the patch ordering when applying to our
trees, but it can be quite dangerous...

Thanks,
Paulo
