Thank you for the report, Dominik. You definitely got our attention.

I've checked the market: Dell XPS 13 9343, yes? Once you confirm model 
id, I'll order a piece immediately to our site.

In regard to logs, thanks for highlighting important lines. Build is of 
'rc' so bugs can still be in plenty - any reason for switching to 
cutting-edge kernel on production stuff? Our CI didn't detect any 
anomalies yet as it is running on 5.5.

I'll direct your ticket on todays meeting. On the first look, issue 
seems to be connected with recent changes to /drivers/dma/dmaengine.c. 
DesignWare DMA controller drv - which HSW/BDW makes use of - might not 
have been updated accordingly. Will dig further on that.

One more, just to make it clear for the rest of the viewers:

Back in the ancient days of DSP (HSW/BDW are actually the very first 
audio DSP hws for Intel) topology was part of FW - SW could not 
configure it and probably that's why library IntcPP01 is attempted to be 
loaded on every boot, even if it's not part of configuration for given 
hw. Maybe we could make it quieter though..

Hmm, sounds like that issue is quite old. DSP for Haswell and Broadwell 
is available for I2S devices only, so this relates directly to legacy 
HDA driver. Compared to Skylake+, HDAudio controller for older platforms 
is found within GPU. My advice is to notify the DRM guys about this issue.

Takashi, are you aware of problems with HDMI on HSW/ BDW or should I 
just loop Jani and other DRM peps here?
