3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Kosina <jkos...@suse.cz>
commit ece4a17d237a79f63fbfaf3f724a12b6d500555c upstream.
Withtout this, ring initialization fails reliabily during resume with
[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl
0001f001 head ffffff8804 tail 00000000 start 000e4000
This is not a complete fix, but it is verified to make the ring
initialization failures during resume much less likely.
We were not able to root-cause this bug (likely HW-specific to Gen4 chips)
yet. This is therefore used as a ducttape before problem is fully
understood and proper fix created, so that people don't suffer from
completely unusable systems in the meantime.
The discussion and debugging is happening at
