Yes, that was my instinct as well.

Though that patch does do have one subtlety:

ironlake_enable_rc6():
+      I915_WRITE(RSTDBYCTL, I915_READ(RSTDBYCTL) & ~RCX_SW_EXIT);

So it appears the patch may in fact be enabling render standby, when it
was actually dropped in

    drm/i915: re-enable rc6 support for Ironlake+

intel_enable_clock_gating():
-	I915_WRITE(MCHBAR_RENDER_STANDBY,
-	           I915_READ(MCHBAR_RENDER_STANDBY) & ~RCX_SW_EXIT);


So, if this is the issue, then simply commenting out the tweaking of
RSTDBYCTL in ironlake_enable_rc6() should prevent the hang.
