Can you please boot with drm.debug=0xe added to your kernel cmdline,
reproduce the issue (with the two dump_stack calls added) and then
attach the full dmesg?

Also a few other things to try: What happens if you do a modeset on
the LVDS while it's still working, e.g.

xrandr --outpu LVDS1 --auto --crtc 1

then switch back to crtc 0 with

xrandr --outpu LVDS1 --auto --crtc 0

Would also be interesting to know whether this can resurrect your machine.

Also, how blank is the screen? I.e. is only the backlight off, but you
can (dimly) see some screen contents, or is it completely off?

Thanks, Daniel
