Subject: [PATCH 4.9 169/206] drm/i915: disable PSR by default on HSW/BDW

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@...el.com>

commit 1c4672ce4eeaeaadeea8adabaad21262b7172607 upstream.

We've been ignoring the poor bugzilla reporters that say PSR causes
system lockups and all other sorts of problems. The earliest bug
report is from April, so I think we can use the "revert the offending
commit if no fixes are presented within 8 months" rule here.

Fixes: 9b58e352b463 ("drm/i915: Enable PSR by default on Haswell and Broadwell.")
