Because the gpu temperature is rising to over 80 C, so it is busy doing
something.  And this is booting with init=/bin/bash, so NOTHING is
running that could be keeping it busy.

I had been under the impression that since ati/amd started releasing
documentation a few years ago that the mesa driver had managed to
implement its own firmware.  I sounds more like it has ripped the
firmware out of the proprietary driver and reverse engineered the interface?
