Bug 109831

Hi 

I only noticed this yesterday, but starting from kernel 4.4-rc1 to 4.4-rc6 switching to VT with CTRL ALT F1 will result with a black screen (nothing dispayed on it) on my both ivybridge and broadwell Asus UX31A UX305FA.
Login in and typing something in the dark (sudo reboot) is working.

Bisecting gives:

    drm/i915: Always try to inherit the initial fb.
    
    The initial state is read out correctly and the state is atomic,
    so it's safe to preserve the fb without any hacks if it's suitable.

Reverting the commit fix the issue on both laptop's.

Setting i915.fastboot=0 to grub doesn't help
