Hi,

The following patch fixes a regression reported by Michael Larabel on an Acer Phoenix laptop where there is a black screen in GNOME with kernel 6.5.

It's marked CC to stable, but I checked the stable queue and didn't see it so I wanted to make sure it wasn't missed.

Thanks!

The fixes tag in that commit is odd, it says it fixes something that is NOT in 6.5, so are you sure about this?

I believe it's one of those cases that the same commit landed twice. So the wrong SHA got added to the fixes tag.

This is the one it should have been:

1ca67aba8d11 ("drm/amd/display: only accept async flips for fast updates")

Thanks!

Seeing the correct sha1; I find the problematic one backported to:

* 6.4.7 as cd013a58cf64 ("drm/amd/display: only accept async flips for fast updates")

and

* 6.1.42 as 438542074174 ("drm/amd/display: only accept async flips for fast updates")

Did you only queue for 6.5.y? If so, can you please add to 6.1.y and 6.4.y as well?

Thanks!
