Amazingly, Bluetooth ON/OFF seems to have an effect on this bug. I have
been running with Bluetooth constantly ON for the past couple of days
and have seen no flicker at all. As soon as I turn off Bluetooth a
flicker occurs after a couple of minutes. I also copied the firmware
file from the Windows drivers for the Dell Wireless 1830 card as
Bluetooth wasn't finding any devices without it. I am not 100% sure, but
I think before adding the bluetooth firmware I got flicker with
Bluetooth ON as well. You can get the firmware file from this thread -

I am running an XPS 9550 with an i7-6700HQ.
