Limiting the list of states for the model processor INTEL_FAM6_KABYLAKE_L

After booting the system almost immediately (it takes less than 1 minute),
there are short-term shutdowns of the display (up to 3 seconds). The problem
disappears if I load the kernel with the parameter intel_idle.max_cstate=4.

While debugging the kernel, I determined that the processor model ID is 0x8E,
defined a macro in the header file /arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h :

...
#define INTEL_FAM6_KABYLAKE_L           0x8E    /* Sky Lake             */
/*                 AMBERLAKE_L          0x8E       Sky Lake -- s: 9     */
/*                 COFFEELAKE_L         0x8E       Sky Lake -- s: 10    */
/*                 WHISKEYLAKE_L        0x8E       Sky Lake -- s: 11,12 */
...

And I created a patch with a reduced number of states (4 states) of downtime
for this model, which works successfully.

I am attaching a patch and asking you to consider the feasibility of such a
solution.

This sounds like it is an issue with panel-self-refresh mode, which is an i915
driver issue.

Please file a bug against the i915 kernel driver for this following this
document:
