Enabling FBC on a plane having a Y-offset that isn't dividable by 4 may cause pipe FIFO underruns and flickers, so disable FBC on such a config.
I tried to the followings to work around the issue: - enable each HW work around in ILK_DPFC_CHICKEN - disable each compression algorithm in ILK_DPFC_CONTROL - disable low-power watermarks None of the above got rid of the problem. I haven't found this issue in the Bspec/WA database either. Besides the igt testcase below (yet to be merged) an easy way to reproduce the issue is to enable a plane with FBC and a plane Y-offset not aligned to 4 and then just enable/disable FBC in a loop, keeping the plane enabled. I could trigger the problem on BXT/GLK/SKL, so assume for now that it's only present on GEN9.
