Comment 6 for bug 1814982

Snapdragon 835 Laptop Results:

4.15 boots to the first 4 lines before kernel
4.18 boots most of the kernel, stops for a bit, then suffers with an rshed crash
5.0 boots to the end of the kernel log, then the screen goes blank

Without this patch on the 835 laptops the user sees grub and then nothing and is left sad; however, with this patch the user sees some form of kernel life on the laptops and is left hopeful - which leads them to start looking around for fixes and help with the solution.

Additional patches will need to be backported but without this patch it's a non-starter until 5.1 or after.

If there is little to no regression risk as this adds a kernel parameter and this is required to enable these platforms to boot, if not other platforms, I would argue to include the patch for at least Disco if not Bionic since random people will attempt to boot the LTS release. Thank you for building the test kernel.
