I guess you have some different issue. In my case HP Folio 1040 G1 had this that problem since kernel 4.1 and it was never fixed.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1928138] Re: Flickering on built-in display (Intel Haswell graphics) since kernel v4.1 [bisected and workaround attached]
Trying to find the reason for this issue I tested kernels from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ on Ubuntu 14.04 v4.0.9-wily - flickering didn't happen (but that's because DRRS wasn't activated in the 4.0.y series) v4.1-rc3-unstable - problem started here. So it's quite possible that on a particular machine this issue is present since v4.1-rc1 I found that this is DRRS by looking at i915 commits in the 4.1.y tree. https://github.com/gregkh/linux/commits/linux-4.1.y/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ intel_pc.c and intel_display.c have some DRRS-related changes I can try to revert some commits from there.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1928138] Re: Flickering on built-in display (Intel Haswell graphics) since kernel v4.1 [bisected and workaround attached]

There's also some flickering even without user interactions. 2) On the top left corner sometimes appears artifacts. It's relatively easy to see with black window decorations on top of the screen. This one is showed at the attached video bellow 3) With kernel boot options drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=4M dmesg shows constant refresh rate changes (even if it's set to 40HZ) [ 29.977378] [drm:intel_dp_set_drrs_state [i915]] eDP Refresh Rate set to : 40Hz [ 30.456537] [drm:intel_dp_set_drrs_state [i915]] eDP Refresh Rate set to : 60Hz [ 33.973392] [drm:intel_dp_set_drrs_state [i915]] eDP Refresh Rate set to : 40Hz [ 35.055923] [drm:intel_dp_set_drrs_state [i915]] eDP Refresh Rate set to : 60Hz nomodeset boot option eliminates flickering Turns out Display Refresh Rate Switching (DRRS) feature doesn't work correctly here. It was implemented on kernels 4.0...4.1 but on a particular machine flickering started with 4.1. As a workaround I'm attaching a patch which disables DRRS by default and adds module parameter "enable_drrs" to activate it. It's made for kernel 5.12 and should work for older versions as well (tested with 5.11). Until this issue is resolved, please consider adding parameter to disable DRRS.
