On laptop #1 with 6.18.0-9 kernel and parameter intel_iommu=intgpu_off I
haven't so far been able to reproduce the flickering. In the log there's
message "kernel: DMAR: Disable integrated GPU device mapping".

$ cat /proc/cmdline 
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.18.0-9-generic intel_iommu=intgpu_off 
root=UUID=c6b19f0f-68ff-4d8c-985a-c3ed88345389 ro quiet splash 
resume=UUID=f25913ea-6478-45dc-8f64-ea5d721a8f25 vt.handoff=7

With 6.8.0-99 kernel and no extra parameters no flickering either. In
the log there's message "kernel: pci 0000:00:02.0: DMAR: Disabling IOMMU
for graphics on this chipset".

So, maybe I misunderstood the point: on the new 6.8 kernel the fix works
automatically, but on kernel 6.18 an extra parameter is needed to enable
the fix? If this is the case, then I guess this bug is fixed.
