I need to add some additional info. Ive managed to reproduce the case when
after screen blanking there's no flickering anymore. I start the 'xset dpms
force off' command to blank the screen and after a pause I press a button to
wake it up. Below is a pastebin when flickering persist after waking up:

And here is a pastebin when the flickering is gone after waking up:

It was really difficult to reproduce the case when the flicker is gone
