Ok, with that intel-nightly looks like drm-next for 4.8 and that indeed 
has working lut updates in my testing. My own patch was motivated by the 
way the implementation is done in intel_atomic_commit_tail() from drm-next.

I just checked Linus tree for 4.7-rc7 and there the code in 
intel_display.c didn't receive any updates since 13 days and looks like 
the broken code from rc6 which according to my testing doesn't work.

So i'd assume legacy gamma table updates are broken in Linux 4.7 final 
rc atm. Couldn't test, because for some weird reason 4.7-rc7 doesn't 
even boot on my laptop :( - However i got that via a quick install from 
Ubuntu's mainline ppa so it could be some unrelated problem with their 
ppa builds.

I think either my patch would fix it, but is untested wrt. nuclear 
pageflip, or those two patches you referenced, which apparently didn't 
move forward.

What now?
