Indeed, I've just tested vanilla 5.9 on a Surface Go 2 and that's broken
I'm afraid.

Back traces on 5.9 [0] show hung tasks on both the i915_driver_probe,
and the tps68470_gpio_probe. I suspect the i915 failure of course is the
reason a desktop environment can't be reached, however I was able to ssh
in at least ;-)

Given that this is now a mainline bug, I'll reply to the mainline patch
and suggest a revert there, rather than here on the stable patches.

As for fixing it ... I don't have enough visibility of the problem for
both this, and the issues that were fixed by this patch.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to investigate further, or
dig into specifically.
