This also happens on AOSP and seems to affect tama as well.

I have a rough idea as to what could be happening in the kernel, but would have to verify that.

Marking as upstream issue.

@Thaodan did you experience this on seine or edo as well?

It is pretty hard to trigger, but after looking at some code for the past few days, nothing obvious showed up and no existing idea worked.

The differences between the devices make this interesting, because AFAIU the current landscape looks like this:

• tama: clearpad/synaptics panel, flashes
• kumano on 4.14 and 4.19: samsung panel, flashes
• edo: samsung panel, ???
• seine and lena: samsung panels, nobody reported any display flashes on either

I haven't really expirienced this on any of my phones so far. But I will pay attention to it and report back if I experience it.
