The watermark patch did not affect the symptoms of this problem,
Rodrigo.  I think Mika is on the right track, having solved the initial
problem (persistent flickering) by modifying the eDP link training.  The
remaining problem is that the flickering recurs when the display resumes
from sleep.

Title:
  Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver

Status in Nouveau Xorg driver:
  Incomplete
Status in libdrm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There's an upstream bug reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen
  flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions
  lower than the maximal one).

  I think that it will be fixed in newer kernel versions, but for the
  time being, as reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393#c25 (and as
  personally tested) reverting those two commits fixes the problem.

  Would that be possible to release a fixed version for the 4.2.0
  stream?
