This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

The ODM has tools to measure various values of the driver/panel combination, and determined that some voltage levels were way too low to pass the spec. The process to bisect the commits took weeks, so while it's technically possible that this issue was fixed by a single commit (drm/i915: Ignore OpRegion panel type except on select machines), we've also kept another 10 commits which upstream thought should help (and did, they improved the measured values but not enough). So, this backport carries all 11 commits from 4.8/4.9 that the ODM verified to pass the tests. [Test case] Needs to be tested with the ODM tools to be sure. [Regression potential] There is some, but apart from the necessary refactoring the rest are bugfixes to match the HW specs, so this should in fact fix a lot more than just this certain machine.
