I tested the runtime patches for Radeon on top of 4.6.0-rc2, and writing DIGD failed. I also saw a number of messages with the vga_switcheroo core in the kernel trying to switch GPUs but failed because "client 1" was keeping it busy. Is there any way to see what this "client 1" actually is? I'm guessing plymouth. In any case, once I'm logged in, the "DIS" is powered and used, and the IGD is powered as well.
