Lo! Me again, sorry for pestering you folks about workflow issues again
after doing so just a few weeks ago. :-/

I noticed that this lacks "drm/amd/display: Wire up
dcn10_dio_construct() for all pre-DCN401 generations", which is a fix
that was posted 10 days ago[1] for a 7.0-rc1 regression that at least
three people hit[2]; a fix that now seems to be in "this week's display
driver promotion cycle before merging"[3] at AMD.

Is this delay really needed / worth it for a regression fix at this
point of the our devel cycle?

And yes, I understand that this might be shared code that AMD wants to
test internally first. Still asking, because at the same time it would
be nice to (a) fix the regressions rather sooner than later and (b) not
fix in the last minute.

Are "pre-DCN401" chips even tested in this "driver promotion cycle"? And
how often does it find problems anyway? Can't we just apply the fix and
revert it quickly later in case AMD find problems (yes, I understand
that this complicates things, but I wonder if that might be worth it if
this is rare)?

Ciao, Thorsten
