+Subject: drm/i915: read HEAD register back in init_ring_common() to enforce
+ ordering
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/ece4a17d237a79f63fbfaf3f724a12b6d500555c
+
+Withtout this, ring initialization fails reliabily during resume with
+
+	[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 head ffffff8804 tail 00000000 start 000e4000
+
+This is not a complete fix, but it is verified to make the ring
+initialization failures during resume much less likely.
+
+We were not able to root-cause this bug (likely HW-specific to Gen4 chips)
+yet. This is therefore used as a ducttape before problem is fully
+understood and proper fix created, so that people don't suffer from
+completely unusable systems in the meantime.
+
+The discussion and debugging is happening at
+
+	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554
