Incomplete Skylake graphics support in 4.1.x kernel
Last modified: 2016-01-29 13:17:02 UTC
4.1.x kernel on openSUSE Leap 42.1 has the support for Intel Skylake graphics, but it's pretty incomplete. There are many known issues that lead to the lost of graphics screen, typically at suspend/resume and full mode switching like VT change or logout. The Skylake graphics got stabilized pretty much on 4.2 kernel, and we need to backport many changes for improving it for Leap kernel.

Some relevant bugs are found in bug 959245.
A SKL test box works fine with these backports. Also tested on various i915 machines, and no regression has been found. So I merged the patches now.
