Bug#844113: linux-headers-4.8.0-1-amd64: package 4.8.6 to fix a bug in i915



Package: linux-headers-4.8.0-1-amd64
Version: 4.8.5-1
Severity: normal

It looks like there is a bug in 4.8.5 and some previous versions that
cause screen flickering and lookups with the i915 driver. The details
are described in:

https://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94605

The problem has fixed in 4.8.6 in upstream. In particular the following
 patches fix the problem:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=00dcbda55115994c1feb6bbfe2c4ef21de7c59fb
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=d64cdbd9291fbc569ba6a5ccef1dd697a10f8d20
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=44e97ca6fb778ba7586cd5ad34afa0f789f88e17

Could you package 4.8.6 or a later version to make the patch available
in Debian?
