This one apparently introduces some annoying dmesg errors:
[    3.487895] [drm:intel_print_wm_latency [i915]] *ERROR* Primary WM3 latency not provided
[    3.487926] [drm:intel_print_wm_latency [i915]] *ERROR* Sprite WM3 latency not provided
[    3.487955] [drm:intel_print_wm_latency [i915]] *ERROR* Cursor WM3 latency not provided

To silence those please also backport
commit 274dba1ae8ff ("drm/i915: Downgrade Gen9 Plane WM latency error")
