David Abergel, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from
kernel 4.2 to 4.3 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed

The problem persists, so I have marked this as Confirmed, per your

Dear Christopher,
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this

bug.
David Abergel, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-

computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A07). If you update to
