FWIW: I have an ASUS Prime 370-Pro, Ryzen 7 1800X, currently running Kernel v5.0.17.

With "Typical Current Idle", and no kernel tweaks, that has run without "freezing while idle" for about a year.

Yesterday I upgraded the BIOS, which for some reason reset the "Power Supply Idle Control" to "Auto". That prompted me to run a small experiment to see if kernel or other upgrades have improved things. They have not: the machine "froze while idle" (fairly promptly). I have now restored "Typical Current Idle", in the hope of another untroubled year.

I note, however, that my cpu (0x00800f11) is running with firmware 0x0800137, not the more recent 0x0800138 -- if I am reading the table in Comment 612, above, correctly.
