Hi, I am also plagued by this very annoying bug.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04

kernel 4.3.0-7-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 19 15:46:45 UTC 2016
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

on a Dell XPS 13 9343

This particular laptop has a mini DisplayPort output which I connected
to a DisplayPort MST hub. The DisplayPort outputs from this hub are
connected with DP to HDMI cables to 3 full HD monitors.

My dmesg shows lots of: [drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master
control interrupt lied (SDE)!

I also see in the kernel log:

As a consequence, my monitors randomly turn black and on again for about
half a second to a full second. This happens in no particular order,
sometimes only one is exhibiting this behavior, sometimes two at the
same time, sometimes they do it a lot and at other times just once in a
while. But when they start to flicker, I noticed it especially happens
with the monitor that is currently focused.

Now the really interesting thing I have noticed is that this only
happens when my monitors are at the 1920 x 1080 resolution.  If I switch
to 1280 x 1024, this never ever happens.

Hope this makes things a bit clearer for somebody out there.
