This (commit 77e00f2ea94abee1ad13bdfde19cf7aa25992b0e) is changing
behaviour for the BTC chips (codenames Barts, Turks and Caicos; model
numbers HD 68xx, 65xx and 63xx; DCE5 generation).
However, we had many reports that DCE3 generation chips don't work
properly without firmware: RV620 in #607194, RV635 in #637392 and
#637943, RV710 in #627497, RV770 in #610851.
There is also the hang-on-resume issue (#607471), though that is
generically fixed (or rather worked-around) by:
