I don't want this in 6.9, this is needed for *6.8* as this fixes a DRM
regression in 6.8-rc1 that breaks the display on machines like the X13s.

If you guys can't sort this out in time, then perhaps Bjorn can take
this through the Qualcomm tree instead (with DRM acks).

But again, this is fixing a severe *regression* in 6.8-rc1. It can not
wait for 6.9.
