[Fix] Skylake menu bar glitch fix

[Alcors]

The kexts for Skylake graphics are already provided by the macOS installer.

I am still confused about where to add this code

That code you show above is for config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches.
It is not even a part of the glitch fix, but rather GFX0->IGPU rename (which enables IGPU PM).
Use copy/paste within a plist editor (Xcode or PlistEdit Pro).
Never use a text editor to edit your config.plist.

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

ACPI is patched incorrectly (and causing your problem).

In ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml, you renamed GFX0->IGPU, but the GFX0->IGPU patch you have in config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches is incorrectly entered and has no effect. The net result is that GFX0 is renamed in DSDT, but not the SSDTs.

Also, DropOem is specified as true. Which is very wrong. The rule is simple: DropOem must be false when there are no patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched. DropOem must be true when there are patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched.

So you are using 19160001? But why not 191B0000? This is correct one for 6700HQ cpu? Can you try with that and then i will re-make ssdt for you

how do u apply the skylake glitch fix on the config.philst?

Use a plist editor and copy/paste.

It may be the source of instability. Bypassing that assertion is not a good idea.

I can confirm that this problem has nothing to do with minstolensize.
I did not have minsotolensize patch, and shutdown hangs when AAPL,GfxYTile property is added
Here is the config.plist and iojones dump (I don't use a custom dsdt)
(I removed smbios section in the uploaded file, FYI, I set smbios to iMac14,2. I have tried iMac16,2 before and the result is the same.)

If you need analysis, describe problem clearly and must provide complete data...

This patch doesn't work for me. Tried different ways (inject intel, different ig-platform-id values, ...)

Here's my config.plist, in case I'm doing something wrong.
Thx in advance
