Public bug reported:

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
