Title:
  AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm having a hard time tracing this down.  I updated to Kubuntu 16.04
  (from Kubuntu 15.10 - that was using the Linux Crimson 15.12 driver) a
  couple days ago on my notebook (HP Pavilion, A10-8700P APU), and ever
  since I've been having random black screens.

  I started debugging the driver, then thought it might be a DPMS issue
  (it's not - I have DPMS fully disabled currently), and now I'm back to
  debugging the driver.

  I don't have any remnants of the former closed Crimson display driver
  and never had an xorg.conf file (I made a small one that I'm using at
  the moment consisting of only a server layout to ensure screen savers,
  DPMS, etc are all off).

  The Black screen can happen any time from the login screen until hours
  later.  I can ssh into the system to shut it down.  And just
  discovered that if I unplug the system from it's power brick, I can
  close the lid - the system will goto sleep.  When I flip the screen
  back up, the system wakes up and the screen works again for 1-2
  minutes.

  I don't see any errors in the log files (well, outside some nasty
  looking ACAPI errors in dmesg).

  HOT TO REPRODUCE:
  Boot system and use normally or simply leave system alone.  Blank screen will 
happen any time after x comes up.

  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Screen doesn't blank unless a screen saver or power saver kicks in.

  SYSTEM INFO:
  Purchased Dec 2015 (build date from BIOS - Aug 2015), HP Pavilion 15" 
notebook, AMD A10-8700P "Carrizo", 16GB RAM, 960GB SSD
