Paging the patch author (Tvrko) and committer (Christian).
Here is the patch if you don't have it in your mailbox:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/pa6pr08mb107665920be9a96658cda04ce88...@pa6pr08mb10766.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com/
I'm seeing this as well (on Android).
Tvrko, Christian: can you look at this?
Will you apply it to the AMD tree for fixes if it looks OK
or does it go elsewhere?
Yours,
Linus Walleij
