Yes and no - yes the patches in comment #10 will help from graphics POV, but no
they won't help with the 'generic case' that Eugene is talking about. With
"generic case" being anyone reading the ./config file will wake up the device.
Eugene if behaviour has changed across kernel versions [i.e. you're confident
that with kernel X the dGPU was powered off and reading ./config did not wake
it up] feel free to bisect and report it.
