Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] drm/i915: Honor SSC quirk table over the default,
 unless set by user

Hi Keith,

That patch is still not in 3.2-rc2, drm-intel-fixes or drm-intel-next.
I've been using it successfully on i915 (both SSC-blacklisted and not)
and non-i915 machines; feel free to set the Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags.

Thanks,
