Title:
  Laptop Display flickers like 50Hz CRT monitor

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Starting with kernel version 4.1, the display of may laptop started to
  flicker like an old-fashioned 50Hz CRT monitor.

  My computer is an ASUS Zenbook UX303LA-R0280H (Intel i5-4210, HD 4400,
  1366x768) running Kubuntu 15.10.

  I installed multiple mainline kernels. The problem is not present with
  3.19 and 4.0, but occurs with 4.1 and is still present with 4.2, 4.3
  and 4.4. (A kernel git-bisect did not work.)
