Gigabyte's GA-AX370-Gaming-5 motherboard finally got the Typical Idle option in BIOS version F23f with AGESA 1.0.0.2a + SMU FW 43.18 dated 2018/05/01. This is over ONE YEAR since the first release of Ryzen CPUs.

Can ya'all verify for me that this actually works - long term - and that I can remove both the rcu_nocbs=0-7 kernel boot option and my custom disable-c6-on-boot.service & disable-c6-on-suspend.service (which disables both C6 package and core)?

Or do I need to keep either rcu_nocbs or zenstates --c6-disable?

I would very much like to know if Typical Idle would be enough. I realize I could simply test this but I don't want to experiment and have random hangs. I'm on kernel 4.17rc3 btw.

If Typical Idle (I also see a "auto" option") actually fixes this then it's still a TOTAL SCANDAL since it's been a year now. But hey, better late than never.
