Comment 58 for bug 1021924

Christopher, while I appreciate your passion for triaging bugs, and wishing to strictly adhere to process or protocol, a BIOS update that will not fix anything is unnecessary, and a waste of time. One can easily see by looking at the release notes of the BIOS update that it will not affect this issue, and one can also see by looking at the history of this report (including of the upstream report which is linked from this bug), that it has been accepted by upstream as a bug in the kernel, by a developer who works directly on the Intel drivers, for Intel.

Unless the Graphics Option ROM version in the BIOS update has changed, it is going to be an irrelevant update, in relation to this bug. So please don't waste my time (and anyone else who may be watching this bug), by insisting that a BIOS update be applied, where the Graphics Option ROM version has not changed.
