Just copy/paste the patch, add a more verbose header and your S-o-b, with
an Upstream-Status of Pending.

It looks like Fedora doesn't patch the -intel driver anymore, instead 
they patch xserver to fiddle with the defaults.

Given the comment and commit description, I'm guessing that list is 
everything older than gen4 (haswell) not already defaulting to something 
else.


I can't find any attempts to upstream the patch... Also, given the 
different formatting, what would be the proper way to bring this into 
OE? Rewrite the commit message, leave Author field intact and add a link?


Thanks,
Cal

I recommend we look at the Fedora patches for the intel driver, I believe
that massively reduces the chips that the intel driver will be the primary
driver for.  We can then continue to ship both and not break anything.
