I guess that following change in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_panel.c, line 1748 on top of kernel 4.6.x (check https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-February/087151.html)
-		if (dev_priv->vbt.has_mipi) {
+		if (connector->base.connector_type == DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DSI) {

should solve your issue.

FYI this is not part of 4.6.x kernel but part of 4.7 or our drm-intel-nightly. So either you upgrade to a more recent kernel or apply that change

I don't think that should make a difference. More likely a dupe of bug 96571.
