What is the progress of this issue? I have this bug for a long time since I set DPM on for my HD3650(RV635 chip). My current kernel is 3.13.0-48-generic from Ubuntu. Few days ago I set this two kernel parameters: radeon.hard_reset=1 radeon.lockup_timeout=20000, but I'm not sure that it helps. I think that workoround with setting high performance level is not a solution, because it same as turning off DPM at all. People say that this workaround doesn't make GPU too hotter, but I think it's not true for every graphic card. HD3650 with performance profile (before DPM was developed I used profiles) make it very hot, cooler buzz loudly trying to decrease GPU temperature.
