I had freezes on my signature laptop which is intel.
I had never the problem with kernel 4.9 which thankfully was lts so I kept using mostly this instead of the latest (because no freezes). Also never before that with any previous kernel. The problem started with kernel 4.10 and continued until 4.14. In some cases I would go for a few days without a freeze and that would trick me to believe that it was fixed but it was not. But now at last it seems to be fixed at some iteration of 4.14. It is more than two months that I have no freeze with latest kernel. I have used 4.14 and now 4.15 a lot without a single freeze. It is months now, not some days or even weeks so I am starting having quite confidence it is over.

With Advanced > AMD CBS > Zen Common Options > Power Supply Idle Control set to "Common current idle" (instead of auto), I didn't get any freezes in a while, so I assume it's a valid workaround.
I noticed what changes after it's set in the firmware, using zenstates.py:
When set to auto:
C6 State - Package - Enabled
C6 State - Core - Enabled
when set to Common current idle:
C6 State - Package - Disabled
C6 State - Core - Enabled
So apparently it disables package C6 state (while keeping core C6 state enabled)! Hopefully it can shed some light on what the problem is. I wonder if Ryzen 2 will be free of this issue.
What exactly is "package" in this context? Is it still part of CPU, or it's something on the motherboard?

i think its the whole die, not individual core.
seems i have this enabled:
C6 State - Package - Enabled
C6 State - Core - Enabled
still havent had that freeze bug, go figure then.

You had it before and then it just stopped happening?

yeah i had it with kernel 4.14 some later versions like 4.14.10 or something (can't remember exactly) but it might have been issue with my RAM clocs also not kernel related or BIOS, cause i updated BIOS around same time i built kernel 4.15 and the problems dissapeared,i also took some tighter settings from RAM OC a bit more loose.
