    drm/radeon: disable dpm on BTC

    commit 919cf555c04e16dafb1fba56904eb23889a812c3 upstream.

That commit (and v3.13.3 in general) are contained in the Ubuntu 3.13.0-10.30 upload, which would imply that fix was in the kernel in the -release pocket, in Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46, and it cirtainly seems to be correctly applied there.

That said it does appear some other fixes have been applied in this area which may well have reenabled it for some of these cards. It appears some further investigation is needed, to determine why the fixes for this have not worked and to feed this back to stable.
