Title:
  Radeon driver disregards power_profile configuration using STR or
  changing screen resolution

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  To keep temperature low and the fan off I use the power_profile mid
  instead of high. This has worked flawlessly for a long time. Since
  last week however the power_profile falls back to high when  I use
  Suspend to Ram or when I change the resolution to adjust for an
  external screen using arandr.

  before:
  sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info

  default engine clock: 680000 kHz
  current engine clock: 297000 kHz
  default memory clock: 800000 kHz
  current memory clock: 405000 kHz
  voltage: 900 mV
  PCIE lanes: 16

  after:
  sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
  default engine clock: 680000 kHz
  current engine clock: 675000 kHz
  default memory clock: 800000 kHz
  current memory clock: 792000 kHz
  voltage: 1200 mV
  PCIE lanes: 16

  Everytime this happens I now have to manually change power_profile via
  echo mid | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile mid

  
  For permant change I put these 2 lines in /etc/rc.local:
  echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
  echo mid > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
