I tested this patch and found that it prevents the GPU hang I had
reported on the HP Pavilion Mini 300-020 in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2413.

In more detail: I built linux-next at tag next-20201106 without
the patch, and booted the result on an Ubuntu 20.04 base system.  As
expected, I observed the hang that I had previously reported as soon as
Cinnnamon started when I entered graphical.target.

I then applied this patch - that being the only change to my kernel -
and I was able to boot to graphical.target 5 times consecutively without
any GPU hang.
