[Bug 2073282] Re: Fix power consumption while using HW accelerated video decode on AMD platforms

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-
oracle-6.8/6.8.0-1015.15~22.04.1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem.
Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the
problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-
oracle-6.8' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-oracle-6.8'. If the
problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-
oracle-6.8' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-oracle-6.8'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Bug description:
[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

Power consumption measurements are worse than Windows while using HW
accelerated video decoding.

[Fix]

Two commits from upstream v6.11-rc1 to add a unified queue to VCN for
more power saving.

[Test Case]

This involves attaching probes on mainboard and can only be performed
by AMD/ODM.

[Where problems could occur]

No.

[Other Info]

To apply to all kernels >= 6.8. Orauclar/Noble, OEM-6.8, OEM-6.11 are
nominated for fix.
