4.4.0-53 WORKS FINE
4.4.0-62 DOES NOT WORK (screen flickers)
It seems there is a problem with powersafe:
With auto:
echo auto > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
you will see heavy screen flickering on higher display resolutions
With low or high:
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level or
echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
there is no screen flickering
And having performance level set to HIGH at all times is not a
workaround because it wears out the card. :(
