Hi,

we recently got our new E7450 Notebooks from Dell and encountered the same 
Problems.
Main Problem - Displays flickering or turn to black at all.
We use 3 Displays 2x externeal via DP / HDMI 1920x1080 + E7450 build in with 
1920x1080.

OS is Ubuntu 14.04LTS with Kernel 4.2.0-30-generic.
I also tested few hours ago the latest Kernel 4.5.0-040500rc7-generic but after 
a few minutes one Display started to flicker again.

The dmesg messag "[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master
control interrupt lied (SDE)!" occurs in 4.2 but not in 4.5.

There is another dmesg message in 4.5 that seems to be related to the
i915 driver:
