This unnecessary flushes are hurting power-savings are it causes features like PSR, FBC and DRRS to disable it self to handle frontbuffer rendering, below some explanation of why each removed call is not necessary. The flush in intel_prepare_plane_fb() is not required as framebuffer will be flipped and power-saving features do the proper flip handling in hardware. intel_find_initial_plane_obj() flush is not required because it is only executed during driver load and at this point the power-saving features are not even enabled. And the last one intelfb_create(), is also not required as at this point the fbdev was just allocated, userspace will draw on it what will trigger frontbuffer invalidates and flushes later on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
