I've tried the ubuntu kernel ppa mainline, and by using this one
<a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/2016-06-21-yakkety/">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/2016-06-21-yakkety/</a>
which I guess it's based on the commit you were mentioning, flickering is gone:
I can change the screen resolution and even after screensaver resume there's no
flickering.
However, when using desktop effects like "show all windows/expose" (both in
unity with compiz and with KDE) there's some flickering...
By the way, while using kernel 4.2 I used to fix the flickering by reverting
the commits mentioned in <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_REOPENED "
title="REOPENED - [bdw edp] Screen Flickering"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=91393#c25">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393#c25</a>
and recompiling the kernel.
This reverting cannot be done on kernel 4.4 though. Thus, the reverted commits
you're mentioning are not the ones mentioned in
