Intel has a history of sabotaging their own graphics drivers. I have a thread about lockups on 5.4+ that was only fixed "silently" in 5.7 for Liquorix: https://techpatterns.com/forums/about2775.html
Looks like whatever the Intel team is doing, they're unable to reproduce issues reliably that customers get on their laptops/desktops. Until they fix that, expect more of this BS.
I'm happy that Dave Airlie put his foot down for this blatant inability to focus on the root cause. Maybe this will change Intel's behavior going forward if they know what to expect.
