Small comment on my previous post: apparently enabling UXA with tiling causes a lot of the known UXA-related bugs to resurface. Rendering is faster with UXA, but sometimes it seems that the driver decides to stop rendering - I would resize something and suddenly everything will stop and the screen

Well, the GEM disablement option patch has to be taken by the kernel team. It looks safe enough to me. The A17 patch currently in the upstream bug tracker looks pretty non- trivial, and I'm worried it could carry regressions. I'd be more comfortable to see it in the main tree and tested against
