Missing backport of 3c591faadd8a ("Reapply "Revert drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default"") in 6.1.y stable series?
Hi
We got in Debian a request to backport 3c591faadd8a ("Reapply "Revert drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default"") for the kernel in Debian bookworm, based on 6.1.y stable series.
https://bugs.debian.org/1119232
While looking at he request, I noticed that the series of commits had a bit of a convuluted history. AFAICT the story began with:
de05abe6b9d0 ("drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default"), this landed in 5.18-rc1 (and backported to v6.1.5, v6.0.19).
This was then reverted with 4243c84aa082 ("Revert "drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default""), which landed in v6.3-rc1 (and in turn was backported to v6.1.53).
So far we are in sync.
The above was then reverted again, via 11b92df8a2f7 ("Revert "Revert drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default"") applied in v6.5-rc1 and as well backported to v6.1.53 (so still in sync).
Now comes were we are diverging: 3c591faadd8a ("Reapply "Revert drm/amd/display: Enable Freesync Video Mode by default"") got applied later on, landing in v6.9-rc1 but *not* in 6.1.y anymore.
I suspect this one was not applied to 6.1.y because in meanwhile there was a conflict to cherry-pick it cleanly due to context changes due to 3e094a287526 ("drm/amd/display: Use drm_connector in create_stream_for_sink").
If this is correct, then the 6.1.y series can be brough in sync with cherry-picking the commit and adjust the context around the change. I'm attaching the proposed change.
Alex in particular, does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense to me.
