Comment 36 for bug 1664602

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time a power-saving feature breaks some subset of hardware. Why even add it in a bugfix update?

After applying the workaround from LP#1678184, I'm happy about the somewhat improved battery life, but I'll never get back the several hours it took to figure out what's going on, and considering whether I should contact Dell support about my failing storage device (which wouldn't have helped, but would probably have wasted several weeks on top of that).

And I'm still on 16.10. Why was this even released in Yakkety, with LP#1678184 having been reported on March 31?
