[amdgpu] Radeon GPU Lockup & freeze of app using gpu, most likely due to dpm

[Yash Patil]

I have dedicated AMD Radeon R5 M430 gpu. Whenever I start an app (for example kdenlive) with DRI_PRIME=1 or just the "Launch with Discrete graphics" option in app menu, the app just freezes and I have to force close. Sometimes the whole system freezes and I have to force reboot

The issue resolves when I disable dpm via amdgpu.dpm=0 in /etc/default/grub, but that heavily reduces the gpu performance in apps. The issue isn't probably from mesa since disabling dpm solves the problem.

Ways to recreate - start any heavy app with discrete graphics card
I even tried the latest mainline kernel(6.2.7) and problem still exists

Also, this issue wasn't happening in ubuntu 20.04 LTS, it started happening since the power settings started to show up, which further makes me suspect dpm as the cause of this

Please help me with this issue, let me know if additional logs are needed
