Public bug reported:
There is a regression preventing a user to upgrade from 5.4 kernel to anything
that's higher than 5.5. When using such kernel the image orientation is wrong
(rotated by 90°C). Also the kernel log contains:
wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Unknown revid 0x06

Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
The user wanted to upgrade from bionic to focal with HWE kernel (they
needed it due to some networking hardware they wanted to have supported
by the newer kernel).
The user was testing mainline stable kernels and noticed that the last
working kernel was the 5.4 series, while anything starting from 5.5 and
above is BROKEN (symptoms as described in the first paragraph above).
Together with the user we have run a bisection between v5.4 and v5.5 on the
upstream stable kernel and we were able to identify the first broken commit to
be:
8f4b1068e7fc3df1a77ac8151767e56b208cc87f drm/i915: Check some transcoder timing
minimum limits
To confirm I have reverted this change on top of the HWE kernel for
focal and the user have confirmed that this resolved the issue (test
build available at ppa:dgadomski/kernel-sf368743).
I am not fully sure what the purpose of this patch was, but I assume the
regression was not intended and the hardware should be still supported.
Attaching lshw and lspci output.
