Subject: drm/i915: disable LVDS downclock by default
X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.0.0-8.9~24463^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33814341f22f13cec17e8d7fbf6f7e8000e3efa4;p=mirror_ubuntu-disco-kernel.git

drm/i915: disable LVDS downclock by default

Many platform support this feature, and it can provide significant
power savings when the reduced refresh rate is low.  However, on some
platforms a secondary (reduced) timing is provided but not actually
supported by the hardware.  This results in undesirable flicker at
runtime.

So disable the feature by default, but allow users to opt-in to the
reduced clock behavior with a new module parameter, lvds_downclock,
that can be set to 1 to enable the feature.
