I have upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and used the suggested nouveau.modeset=0 kernel
boot option.

It works perfectly. I can indeed see many improvement. Most and foremost Wayland is working as far as I can see!

The only hiccup I had was with the laptop suspending right after the successful login, when the laptop lid was closed while being connected to the Dell Thunderbolt dock – TB16. In contrast to previous Ubuntu version there is no way of configuring the laptop lid behaviour by using the GUI (via Power configuration).

Below setting made the trick.
vim ~/etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

In the light of this I believe this addressed by upgrading to 17.10 and thus can be closed.

@Marco Scavazzon I believe you should create a new bug and reference this bug in order to get kernel 4.13.0-16 ported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

@All Ubuntu kernel develops
A great thank you to you all of you for making Ubuntu 17.04 so nicely work with Wayland and with Dell XPS 15 (9560)!!
