+Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: do not enable RC6p on Sandy Bridge
+
+commit 1c8ecf80fdee4e7b23a9e7da7ff9bd59ba2dcf96 upstream.
+
+With base on latest findings, RC6p seems to be respondible for RC6-related
+issues on Sandy Bridge platform. To work-around those issues, the previous
+solution was to completely disable RC6 on Sandy Bridge for the past few
+releases, even if plain RC6 was not giving any issues.
+
+What this patch does is preventing RC6p from being enabled on Sandy Bridge
+even if users enable RC6 via a kernel parameter. So it won't change the
+defaults in any way, but will ensure that if users do enable RC6 manually
+it won't break their machines by enabling this extra state.
+
+Proper fix for this (enabling specific RC6 states according to the GPU
+generation) were proposed for the -next kernel, but we are too late in the
+release process now to pick such changes.

+As noticed by Torsten Kaiser, the operator precedence can play tricks with
