Public bug reported: Connecting an external Display Port screen wither via the dell E-Port plus or directly via the miniDP causes a kernel panic. The crash is not always immediate, if the internal screen is disabled when docked, then the external screen may work, though undocking and docking a second time usually crashes it.
Kernels crashing for me are 4.4.0-21-generic and 4.4.0-22-generic.
