This bisect is invalid. You will probably need to apply the revert patch on all bisect rounds in order to find the offending commit since without this revert you just get black screens after first backlight off...
After workaround the black screen issue, bisect shows following: 2f82bbdf3d4f1361c3d713c516d8aa390102374d is the first bad commit commit 2f82bbdf3d4f1361c3d713c516d8aa390102374d Author: Michel Thierry <michel.thierry@intel.com> Date: Mon Dec 15 14:58:00 2014 +0000 drm/i915: Use true PPGTT in Gen8+ when execlists are enabled
Have you tried to disable 'dynamic memory self refresh' in the BIOS? It's the usual suspect for all display related issue these days.
After upgrade BIOS from V53 to V55, this issue disappears whatever disable/enable 'dynamic memory self refresh'
(In reply to Jeff Zheng from comment #6) > After upgrade BIOS from V53 to V55, this issue disappears whatever > disable/enable 'dynamic memory self refresh' Closing based on this. Please reopen if the problem reappears with upgraded bios.
Closing old verified.
