I'm experiencing what seems to be random flickering (not related to
hiding cursor as seen on #93945).

Could someone at Intel please assign this to offending commit committer
Rodrigo Vivi (or request he assign himself)?

Unfortunately, bugzilla won't allow one to either assign him or CC as per error message:
Assignee:
rodrigo.vivi AT intel DOT com did not match anything 

Also, this seems strange one cannot assign him given Intel's
documentation states to report here as per
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs , but yet
bugzilla cannot reach the appropriate developer?

Despite this, increasing importance, given it's bisected, reproducible
for a few folks as reported downstream, and reproducible in latest drm-
intel-nightly.

Done now, it's just that he's registered here with another email
address. Writing just parts of the name will show up alternatives.
