Yes, the update addresses flickering, in my case I was running the update as I am prepping to add Android Auto in the truck. There is a TSB about the flickering. I had posted in a different forum about the same issue, and one of the first things mentioned was checking if there was a setup or configuration option in SPS besides the programming. There wasn't, however there was a USB programming option. None of us thought that was it, so we skipped it and continued troubleshooting. This was on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime I had scheduled an appointment at the dealer to #1 take care of some open recalls, but I was also going to have them try to fix the cluster. In a last ditch attempt this morning I decided to try the USB programming option. Had to grab a USB and plug it into the computer I am using for SPS, (had to be formatted to fat32) SPS had me select the USB drive, it then downloaded the file to the stick, then I plugged the drive into the USB port under the center console, and it took about a minute, then the radio screen asked if I wanted to update. Took about 30-40 minutes to apply the update, but once it finished the DIC came back on, and everything in the truck went back to normal. I still have a bunch of other things that I need to fix - GPS antenna, transfer case actuator won't learn, passenger left hand window won't roll down, air suspension, etc.. but the cluster and DIC are back to normal.
