- Description:
+ [impact]
  
  Currently in 18.04 beta1, (v4.15), CNL-Y graphics is not enabled.
  is_alpha_support = 1
  i915/i915_pci.c
  572 static const struct intel_device_info intel_cannonlake_gt2_info 
__initconst = {
  573         GEN10_FEATURES,
  574         .is_alpha_support = 1,
  575         .platform = INTEL_CANNONLAKE,
  576         .gen = 10,
  577         .gt = 2,
  578 };
  
- if you have new Intel hardware and want to enable the alpha quality i915
- driver support for the hardware in this kernel version. You can also
- enable the support at runtime using the module parameter
- i915.alpha_support=1; this option changes the default for that module
- parameter.
+ Enabling it needs 59 commits backported from 4.16/drm-intel-next-queued
+ according to a list provided by Intel.
+ 
+ [test case]
+ Test a kernel build with backports on CNL-Y.
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ minor, they are mostly about CNL only
