You can enable it by setting pi->enable_bapm = true; in trinity_dpm_init() in trinity_dpm.c. Unforunately, it's not stable yet on all systems.
Thank you for this hint, Alex.
A search does not reveal much. Do you have a reference to the problems which this can cause?
trinity_dpm.c seems to be a file of the free radeon driver. Actually, I would prefer to go without any HW specific graphics driver.
I was hoping for a slight chance for the kernel to detect this annoyance and solve it (in a first step) regardless of any later graphics driver settings.
