Blank Screen on Mac Book Retina

[Harald Jung <jung-tGUyRVMVWKI@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

we have a blank screen on a mac book retina since kernel 3.16.
The behavour is a bit weird:
In kernel 3.16 and higher it is like this, when you reset all display 
and xrandr settings, sometimes the screen comes up in the highest 
possible resolution.
But when you try to choose another resolution the screen stays turns black.
But in 80% of the tries it stays black, when the saved screen 
resolutions is another than the highest resolution it always stays black.

As imirkin mentioned on irc, the problem is caused by the "nouveau E[   
PDISP][0000:01:00.0] 00:0006:0f44: link training failed ".
The last working kernel was 3.15.10.

I've tried to bisect it, but i wasn't able to have the notebook for the 
whole time.
And so we tried to do the rest of the bisects remote, but i think we've 
messed something up in the coordination
I have no chance to try a bisect again (not when i start with 3.15.10 
good and 3.16 bad), it takes to much time and i don't have access to the 
notebook for so long.
If we really need a bisect, maybe you could help me with a better 
starting and ending version to try

Logfiles and stuff can be found at the end of the mail.

best regards
Harald

     drm/i915: Move buffer pinning and ring selection to 
intel_crtc_page_flip()

     All of the .queue_flip() callbacks duplicate the same code to pin the
     buffers and calculate the gtt_offset. Move that code to
     intel_crtc_page_flip(). In order to do that we must also move the ring
     selection logic there.
