The clamp suggested by Chris does indeed fix the WARN_ON.

In the case where RPe is greater than RP0, RPe will now be clamped to
RP0. Is this likely to result in increased power consumption?

At a quick glance on my laptop it does not (idling around 5W before and
after) but Ville had suggested earlier to fall back to RP1, which would
be more consistent with previous kernels.

Thanks again for the quick responses,
 Michael
