Hi all, 

I have sent one patch with live_status check restricted to gen7 and +, for this 
regression.
drm/i915: Restrict usage of live status check
Please help in review. 

Regards
Shashank

We are procuring the DVI-single-link cable, as we don't have one with us. 
Sonika tested the Dual link cable, and that was working well. 

We can do two things here: 
- Add the gen check, which will allow the live_status check only for VLV and + 
platforms, others will go as it is. 
- Wait for some more time, get the cable and try to rep and fix the issue. 

Regards
Shashank

Shashank was planning to give a patch to bypass live status checks for older 
platforms.

Sonika

This is a regression-fest. Revert with stable@?
