These patches address a long-standing problem that causes VGA output
problems on some machines. These patches went into Linus's tree during
the 3.2 merge window, but I've been sitting on them a while as all
previous attempts to fix the problem had to be reverted due to
regressions on other hardware. Things are looking better this time
around, so please consider these backports for oneiric.
== SRU Justification ==
Impact: On some machines with an Ibex Peak PCH, SSC will be enabled on
the clock source used for analog outputs. This results in poor quality
output (described as "wavy") on the external display.
Fix: A series of upstream backports to the i915 driver. With these
backports, the driver will check for the existence of a CK505 clock
source, and if present this is used as the reference clock for analog
outputs so that SSC can remain enabled. Otherwise SSC is disabled. The
PCH refclk update code is also split out so that it can be called from
additional locations where the refclks should be updated.
Test Case: Running with backports on an affected system will fix quality
issues on VGA outputs. Verified for oneiric on LP #614238.
