[coreboot] [RFT] Linux 4.13: Intel 945 graphics driver changes

[Paul Menzel]

Dear coreboot folks,


As some of us still use Intel 945 devices, this is a heads-up, that the
Linux Intel graphics driver was cleaned up in Linux 4.13 [1], whose
first release candidate was published yesterday.

There was at least one regression [2], so I encourage everyone to test
the Linux 4.13 release candidates to ensure there are no other
regressions.

The Intel graphics driver in Linux has a good test suite (Intel GPU
Tools, Piglit) [3][4], so this is also something coreboot users with
Intel devices could do, who want to contribute but don’t want to code.


Kind regards,

Paul
