The 4.7-rc1 kernel was not bootable on my system. However, I have been testing with 4.6.0-996-generic #201605082201 from drm-next and the behavior is better. With the drm-next kernel, I am able to dock/undock the laptop multiple times without a freeze and the displays are recognized and can be setup. The configured display layout is applied successfully on docking, unlike with the 4.4.0-22 kernel. I do have one persistent issue with the drm-next kernel, I have to change to a VT and back to get display output after docking - but I don't think its related to this issue. This intel stuff sure seems like a mess.
