Comment 35 for bug 1728238

Complement :

loading a previous version (from the same sources) of the kernel, but without being patched, seems to work:

me@MyMachine~ $ dmesg | grep i915
[ 2.016454] i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem

=> i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin
=> i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin

So, IMHO, the Intel blob had no problem at all, and it was maybe simply an issue caused by the server on Intel site
