Proposed patches
Since xf86-video-intel 2.9.1 has been released, nominations here will be considered for future 2.9.x bugfix releases, if we do any.
Below here, please list patches to nominate them for merging into the 2.9 branch. The commits must already exist in the master branch, and have received review and testing there.
For each fix, please provide a short description of the bug being fixed in terms that make sense to the user, (which I will put in the release notes). The commit message is rarely the right thing here, (since it will often refer to internals). Often the title of a bug report is exactly what's wanted, so if your commit message already includes a bugzilla URL then that's likely sufficient.
As an example of what I'd like for the descriptions:
What I don't want: Fix uninitialized pScrnPtr value. What I do want: Fix crash on X server start with multiple outputs.
Proposed for 2.9.x (once these are merged, move them down to the next list)
