I am affected by this bug on dell xps 13 9350 both on FHD and QHD.
Running kernel 4.6rc5 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.6-rc5-wily/ helps as a work-around.

Title:
  Intermittent Screen Flicker on Dell XPS 13 9350

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using the Dell XPS 13 9350 with Ubuntu 16.04, and I am
  experiencing random screen flickering where the screen will flicker to
  black for a split second. This happens repeatedly every few seconds
  for half a minute or so. Then the issue will disappear for a few
  minutes, but randomly come back. I have experienced using Ubuntu 16.04
  with Unity, Gnome, and XFCE. See LP#1554613.
