Bug ID: 83731 Summary: dpm still not working on radeon TURKS 1002:6840 Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.17-rc Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: giancarlo.formicuccia@gmail.com Regression: No

Created attachment 149011 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=149011&action=edit kernel messages with dpm enabled

Now that dpm is enabled by default on TURKS cards, I'd like to give another try to get it working on my card.

Booting a 3.17-rc3 kernel results in a blank screen; the computer is not locked up, I still can ssh into the machine and grab the kernel messages.

lspci reports:

01:00.0 0300: 1002:6840 (rev ff) (prog-if ff) !!! Unknown header type 7f Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeon

01:00.1 0403: 1002:aa90 (rev ff) (prog-if ff) !!! Unknown header type 7f Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

Loading the radeon module with dpm=0 works without problems.

Note that dpm *did* work correctly until 3.13 kernels (using dpm=1); then it broke during the 3.14 delopement cycle. I bisected the bad commit in 6c7bccea390853bdec5b76fe31fc50f3b36f75d5 drm/radeon/pm: move pm handling into the asic specific code and reported the problem on the dri-devel ml, without luck. My guess is that something changed during the initialization of the card which is confusing this GPU, but I was unable to identify the problem by myself.

Attached the kernel messages after loading the radeon module on 3.17-rc3.
