Merge tag 'v4.4-rc2' into drm-intel-next-queued
Linux 4.4-rc2 Backmerge to get at commit 1b0e3a049efe471c399674fd954500ce97438d30 Author: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Date: Thu Nov 5 23:04:11 2015 +0200 drm/i915/skl: disable display side power well support for now so that we can proplery re-eanble skl power wells in -next. Conflicts are just adjacent lines changed, except for intel_fbdev.c where we need to interleave the changs. Nothing nefarious. Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>
