[Bug 1456596] Re: DELL XPS 13 (9343) Strange, seemingly perpetual repeat of drm activity

 

ullix, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 3.19
to 4.1-rc4 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed
immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been identified,
then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into your
release. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F
?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Also, you would have to uninstall the bcmwl module for the duration of
the bisect so proprietary module errors are avoided.

Thank you for your understanding.
