This patch is already in Yakkety kernel. It will also be released as a part of the Xenial HWE kernel in Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.2.
Marking this bug as Invalid for Yakkety and Xenial and direct interested parties to the Xenial HWE kernel. Prior to its release in February 2017 it can be tested by installing the hwe-edge packages.

This patch will allow the end-user to adjust the pixel clock with the hdmimhz kernel parameter until the detection code gets good enough: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1a0c96c075bb4517d4ce4fb6750ee0a3cf38714c This page contains a lot of useful information and lead me to a sollution to my problem: https://www.elstel.org/software/hunt-for-4K-UHD-2160p.html.en I think this is worthy of consideration for backport to the Xenial kernel as not being able to use the most recent LTS version of Ubuntu Desktop with current hardware is a drag. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: frode 2797 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: frode 2797 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ae0b4ef2-57b4-4ab5-ac55-be113c10f1d1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-01-08 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) MachineType: Apple Inc.
