Nope. The bug is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554
everything we know and have tried is there. Which is not much more than
at time of the original incarnation:

    i915: Fix up ring initialization to cover G45 oddities
    
    G45 appears quite sensitive to ring initialization register writes,
    sometimes leaving the HEAD register with the START register contents. Check
