This patch will allow the end-user to adjust the pixel clock with the hdmimhz kernel parameter until the detection code gets good enough: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1a0c96c075bb4517d4ce4fb6750ee0a3cf38714c This page contains a lot of useful information and lead me to a sollution to my problem: https://www.elstel.org/software/hunt-for-4K-UHD-2160p.html.en I think this is worthy of consideration for backport to the Xenial kernel as not being able to use the most recent LTS version of Ubuntu Desktop with current hardware is a drag.
