Unfortunately this kernel did have the bug. However I have done some testing with the mainline kernels and I have discovered that the bug has been resolved in 4.8.15 (4.8.14 did have the bug) as well as in 4.9-rc6 (4.9-rc5 did have the bug).

Nothing is visible on the screen. This didnt happen on Ubuntu 16.04 so I tried installing a 4.4 kernel and the problem disappeared. I have then tested with various kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and I have found that the last good kernel is 4.7.10 and the first bad kernel is 4.8-rc1.
