Comment # 40 on bug 105760 from Thomas Martitz

Further investigations show that toc->num_entires and toc->structure_version
are set to -1 after the first call to smu7_request_smu_load_fw(). Does that
makes sense?

Since you say the GPU does not properly wake up, can you imagine a workaround?
The laptop works with windows (of course...) so I'd think there ought to be a
sw workaround.
