Subject: [PATCH 3.14 021/238] drm/radeon: enable bapm by default on desktop TN/RL boards

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@....com>

commit 0c78a44964db3d483b0c09a8236e0fe123aa9cfc upstream.

bapm enabled the GPU and CPU to share TDP headroom.  It was
disabled by default since some laptops hung when it was enabled
in conjunction with dpm.  It seems to be stable on desktop
boards and fixes hangs on boot with dpm enabled on certain
boards, so enable it by default on desktop boards.
