Hi Andre,
I also have upgraded to 16.10, hoping for the bug to be fixed, as
everything seemed to go smooth until kernel 4.7. However, I still got
kernel panics.
In short, kernel 4.5 didn't have the bug: it was introduced by the
backport Canonical made of amdgpu to 4.4. However the same bug, or a
Maybe we should mark it as confirmed now that Yuri bisected the kernel

As I commented in the first message, 4.5.0 does not present the NULL ptr
dereference, so it would not really be a bisect from 4.4 to 4.6-rc7, but
