But for that you would need to first change the gen check and add a call to check live status for ivb. Done (well I just quickly hacked up the same idea on top of your old patches). Lessons to be learned from this: - Make sure that you really include _all_ the bugfixes. This pach here isn't just tuning, it's crucial to make it work. And this isn't the first time vpg teams upstream something and later on we notice that important bugfixes have been forgotten. Because this wasn't done both you & me wasted a lot of time arguing about these patches and trying to test them. - Please squash this patch in with patch 3 since otherwise we have a regression. Also please try to dig out why exactly this works like this since the hpd irq happening _before_ hpd status settles sounds to me like we have a little time machine in our silicon which can predict the future ... - Please respin the patch series with the IS_VLV || gen >= 8 checks drop, I'm fairly confident that this bugfix here is the bit we've been looking for since years. At least it would be good to retest on all platforms for maximal test coverage.
