** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: "drm/i915/gen8+: Add RC6 CTX corruption WA" makes it effectively
+ impossible to enter RC6 for some Intel GPUs when a display server is
+ running. This results in increased energy usage and temperature.
+ 
+ Fix: Upstream has changed too much to make the fixes there applicable,
+ but Chris Wilson has provided a patch for 5.3, here:
+ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/614#note_366057
+ 
+ Test Case: See test results below. On an affected machine powertop will
+ show increased RC6 usage on an idle desktop after the patch, and other
+ symptoms of excessive power use should also subside.
+ 
+ Regression Potential: The 5.3 patch is pretty straightforward, and only
+ adds running of an existing delayed worker to retire GPU requests. No
+ regressions have been reported in testing so far.

  After upgrading to 5.3.0-23-generic the fans in my machine don't stop
  running. They always sound like something is utilizing CPU - even with
  no applications running after boot.
  
  If I boot back to 5.3.0-19-generic it's fine.
  
  My microcode version is reported as 0xd4 and iucode-tool reports:
  
  iucode-tool: system has processor(s) with signature 0x000506e3
  
  Let me know if you need anything else.
