Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.10 which ships kernel 5.8.0-31-generic,
battery life is considerably less and power consumption is about 10
watts more idle, (idling at 14-15 watts) using integrated graphics. This
is a hybrid GPU laptop Intel HD 630/GP107M, and based on past
experiences a possible cause is not powering off the dedicated GPU
completely while using the integrated.
Running sudo powertop --auto-tune doesn't eliminate the issue.

Device "01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL High Definition
Audio Controller" appears active, does this mean that the audio
subsystem of dGPU keeps it enabled, causing the 10-watt consumption?
