Bug Description

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a HP EliteBook 840 G5 with docking station and two screens attached via DisplayPort.
Reproducibly, when I close the lid of my notebook, the kernel 4.15.0-44.47-generic crashes with a Oops in i915 / intel_ddi_post_disable.
The previous kernel 4.15.0-43.46-generic works without problems.

Oops:

Same here. Using Lenovo P52s with a docking stations and two screens connected to displayport. The crash does not happen if there are no displays connected. The crash happens also if I try to change the display order in settings.
