To be clear - I believe this is the state of Shield's testing, all of which use
the same drm-tip kernel from 3 weeks ago, all of which are transcoding from
MJPEG --> H264:

(1) Only disable RC6, no other changes == no GPU issues

(2) Only disable coarse power-gating [in gen9_enable_rc6()], no other changes
== GPU hangs.

(3) No changes to drm-tip kernel == GPU hangs.


I'm guessing that there's something that RC6 allows which can cause the
transcoder GPU hangs to occur, but whatever that is, it's not related to coarse
power gating.

I will proceed with placing both changes (RC6 disable + Coarse power gating
disable) into a kernel. I'm expecting the GPU not to hang/crash.
