[Bug 1488719] Re: dmesg shows "[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!"

 

Getting this error as well on a Dell XPS-13 developer edition (ubuntu
14.04 LTE) with Kernel 4.3.0-rc2 from mainline[1].

Error occurs when I connect an external monitor on DisplayPort with
4k/60hz: Monitor flickers, turns black every five seconds and turns off
completely after two or three minutes.

Error message (constantly with dmesg)

[14142.692434] [drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!
...

After changing resolution back to 1920x1080 everything works fine again without any error messages. 
Reproducable with stock kernel on ubuntu (3.13.0-37).
