I had card1 = Fiji stuck awake and card2 = Fiji asleep (both in separate 
Thunderbolt enclosures).

The sysfs values in /sys/class/drm/card{0,1}/device/power/ were the 
same.

The powertop utility did not help in "tunables" tab.

I compiled kernel without fbcon and it still did it.

But moving from Arch to Ubuntu changed the behaviour. I am still 
investigating.

The above would be me hitting WindowsKey+P to change screens, but with 
no DisplayPort attached to Fiji, hence it unable to find crtc.

That would be me having attached the DisplayPort and done WindowsKey+P 
again.

It does. However, this is not going to be easy to pin down.

I moved from Arch to Ubuntu, and it behaves differently. I cannot 
trigger the bug in Ubuntu. Plus, it puts the GPUs asleep, even if 
attached at boot, unlike Arch. I will continue to try to trigger it. But 
even if this is a problem with the Linux distribution, it should not be 
able to trigger a kernel mode bug, so we should persist with finding it.
