A Dell Inspiron 5448 / 0YDTG3 laptop (BIOS A06 10/12/2015), which used to work well with Ubuntu trusty and Ubuntu wily releases (using fglrx driver), presents multiple issues with Ubuntu xenial.
When the amdgpu driver tries to activate the Radeon GPU, a NULL pointer dereference occurs, causing the caller process to hang. This practically causes the system to hang when trying a logoff or shutdown.
The bug can be easily reproduced by calling:
DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears
Which hangs the glxgears process and causes the stacktrace attached below.
The system also crashes with a kernel panic (capslock key blinking and system does not answer to magic SysRq keys) when coming back from a suspend.
Kernel 4.5.0-050400 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5-wily fixes the crashes and oopses, although the Radeon GPU still does not work (DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears opens a black window). However, at least the system can be used with the Intel GPU in a stable fashion.

The bug reported in this forum post http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=2318640 appears to be the same.
