Re: PROBLEM: i915 causes complete desktop freezes in 4.15-rc5

[Alexandru Chirvasitu <achirvasub@gmail.com>]

I've cloned your

https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/drm-tip.git

and am now trying to build it (just the master; I haven't tried
previous commits). The build fails at the modules stage with

Makefile:1015: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

What is the earliest commit I can try to build so it will still
include the config options you mention?

I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious..
