Subject: Drop 0fc6fea41c71 ("drm/i915: Disable DC states for all commits")
 from the 6.0.y series?

Hi Greg! Months ago you picked up mainline commit a2b6e99d8a6
("drm/i915: Disable DC states for all commits") for the 6.1.23 release
as commit 0fc6fea41c71. It causes issues vor a few people (at least
three, two of which are CCed) -- apparently because it depends on some
change that wasn't picked up for 6.1.y. This is known for a while now,
but nobody has yet found which change that is (Al found something that
worked for him, but that didn't work for others). For the whole story
skim this ticket:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/8419

I wonder if it might be better if you revert that commit for 6.0.y; I
asked already in the ticket if this is likely to cause regressions for
users of 6.0.y, but got no answer from the i915 devs (or did I miss
something?). :-/

Ciao, Thorsten
