Public bug reported:

On an HP x360 Spectre (i7-8565U WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620]),
after upgrading to 22.04 from 21.10, the display goes to some flickering
lines in black and grey or colors (remember the artifacts on Amstrad CPC
or C64 when loading from a tape? Same here...).

After the initial grub menu, the kernel loads and boots. There are a few
lines of log when the screen is in text mode. As soon as the plymouth
screen comes in, the screen starts flickering massively. Nothing
appeared on the screen except horizontal lines. I have an encrypted
partition, so I type in the password and then the screen goes to
flickering lines in color when Wayland starts.

I tried different kernels:
- 5.17.8: failed
- 5.15.x: all failed (from Ubuntu 22.04)
- 5.13.19: works and back to normal

I found the following errors in the logs:
* i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=43426 
end=43427) time 300 us, min 2146, max 2159, scanline start 2131, end 2171
* i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware 
i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (v1.4)
* i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] [ENCODER:102:DDI B/PHY B] is disabled/in DSI mode 
with an ungated DDI clock, gate it
* i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] [ENCODER:113:DDI C/PHY C] is disabled/in DSI mode 
with an ungated DDI clock, gate it
* i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

So the problem is > 5.13.x series

I temporarily solved it by downgrading to 5.13.19 from ubuntu mainline
on a newly updated ubuntu 22.04! But it seems the bug affects all the
kernels.
