Martin Pecka, in order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following: 1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder). 2) The release names are irrelevant. 3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream. 4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .
If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report Status Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-a16 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547884 Title: Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor eats too much power Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: $ lsusb Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0a5c:5800 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor $ sudo powertop Power est. Usage Events/s Kategorie Popis 24.3 W 100,0% Device USB device: 5880 (Broadcom Corp) On my Dell Latitude E6540 I constantly see this USB device eating about 20 W of power (and I don't see a reason for this kind of device to take that much power). And yes, the fan is always running, even when the computer is completely idle. The computer has no fingerprint reader (though it was an optional accessory, so the chip is IMHO built to support it). I use the integrated smartcard reader (also handled by this chip). I've set up PAM and LightDM to support smartcard login. However, the power usage is the same regardless of whether a smartcard is inserted or not. I do not intentionally use the integrated TPM chip in any way. I faced this problem also on Ubuntu 14.04.3 with 3.19 kernel. Eventually, this could also be a bug in powertop, but the fan almost never stops (even with display backlight to minimum), so I think powertop could be correct.
