Public bug reported:

Setting radeon.dpm=1 keeps causing glitches every time the display
changes from the IGD to DIS and vice versa.

It may be related to the HDMI audio, which I tried to turn off using
radeon.audio=0.

Below are the lines from the kernel log having to do with snd_hda_intel
(which shouldn't be there when radeon.audio=0).  I'm trying to _keep the
DIS GPU *turned off* in order to save power & keep this laptop cool_.

I can't tell who keeps turning the DIS GPU back on, but I'd love to know
how to keep the DIS GPU locked OFF.

Title:
  Xorg radeon.dpm=1 causes glitches

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Setting radeon.dpm=1 keeps causing glitches every time the display
  changes from the IGD to DIS and vice versa.

  It may be related to the HDMI audio, which I tried to turn off using
  radeon.audio=0.

  snd_hda_intel (which shouldn't be there when radeon.audio=0).  I'm
