--- Comment #294 from Kyle K <kylek389 at gmail.com> ---
Hello,

I have been having problem with my HD6870 for some time. I experienced it on
4.7/4.8/4.9 kernels (haven't tested earlier). My HD6870 works great out of the
box with DPM enabled, I do not have any issues for general use.

I do have a problem with applications that put heavier load on GPU, for example
MPV with hw acceleration enabled. My R600 tries to upclock from 300Mhz base d
efault but fails with:
Apr 21 00:34:22 xenon kernel: [drm:btc_dpm_set_power_state [radeon]] *ERROR*
rv770_restrict_performance_levels_before_switch failed
Apr 21 00:34:33 xenon kernel: [drm:btc_dpm_set_power_state [radeon]] *ERROR*
rv770_restrict_performance_levels_before_switch failed

I can reproduce this every time with:
$ mpv --hwdec=vdpau --vo=vdpau <foo.mkv>

The video playback follows but it is very choppy as you would imagine.

Attempting to use VAAPI pipeline for hw decoding results in hard system crash
with blank screen after just few seconds of playback. I can reproduce it always
with:
$ mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=vaapi <foo.mkv>


I'm booting with radeon.dpm=0 as a workaround, vdpau hw decoding is butter
smooth and playback in mpv is very reliable, however temps and noise is not as
great :(


I used to run Arch on latest 4.10 kernel but recently I'm playing around with
Solus so I'm on 4.9.22, here are stock settings with DPM enabled on Solus
system that I have this problem:
