I'm afraid that's not good enough as this is a *regression* breaking the
display completely on machines like the X13s.

Regression fixes should go to mainline this cycle since we don't
knowingly break users' setups (and force them to debug/bisect when they
update to 6.19 while the fix has been available since before Christmas).

Can't you just send a PR with this single fix? Otherwise, perhaps Dave
or Simona can pick up the fix directly?
