It very much depends on the distribution on how to do it properly, Arch has it documented https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel/Traditional_compilation .

I wouldn't call the fix final, While it did stop some flickering (short suspension, closing the lid) it caused other issues, flickering returning after a long suspension (laptop picked up after being in my bag for a while) and sometimes caused the screen not to turn on after lid open. So it might indicate something about the issue, but is by no means the final fix.
