It's a CentOS 7.2, so there is point in asking RHT. I'll try to persuade the customer to have a try with kernel version 4.9, if only I can get it work with CentOS 7.2.

This would be the point where we ask you to run a recent upstream kernel and try and reproduce the problem with that, or contact RHT for support on their franken-kernel ;-)
