I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 (Skylake) and a Dell DA200 adapter. The latter is a Thunderbolt device that includes an HDMI port and connects over USB Type C. I believe that it's internally using DP Alternate Mode. When I plug it in on 4.7-rc4, I get spew like this: [ 90.718106] [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train [i915]] *ERROR* failed to train DP, aborting [ 91.077604] [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train [i915]] *ERROR*
