+Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Prevent a machine hang by checking crtc->active
+ before loading lut
+
+Before loading the lut (gamma), check the active state of intel_crtc,
+otherwise at least on gen2 hang ensue.
+
+This is reproducible in Xorg via:
+  xset dpms force off
+then
+  xgamma -rgamma 2.0 # freeze.
