Thank you Tom for providing a log. The issue still persists and you keep
receiving a lot of short hotplug detection pulses.

During the patch review I received comments that I should move the idea of 
tracking the config changes to its current location in patch 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/69394/

If you have time, it would be interesting to know if you apply this patch 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/66697/
on top of current -nightly and check if it still fixes the flickering.

Title:
  Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver

Status in Nouveau Xorg driver:
  Incomplete
Status in libdrm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There's an upstream bug reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen
  flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions
  lower than the maximal one).

  I think that it will be fixed in newer kernel versions, but for the
  time being, as reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393#c25 (and as
  personally tested) reverting those two commits fixes the problem.

  Would that be possible to release a fixed version for the 4.2.0
  stream?
