If you have a working kernel version and a non working version (and some
time on your hands!), you could "git bisect" between the various
revisions to determine which commit introduced the breakage.

(NB: I'm not a driver developer here, just a keen user).

It took me a good long time bisecting a graphics regression when I had
it down to 80 changes. Since in that case I was sure it was a graphics
related fault - and had an idea which of the many driver source files
would be relevant, I was able to pass some extra parameters to git
bisect to narrow the search.

Others might disagree, but from your video I wouldn't be 100% sure that
I could restrict the search to the graphics driver only.
