After some more searching, I did find two options in the UEFI:

"TSME" (Description: "Transparent SME: AddrTweakEn = 1; ForceEncrEn =1; 
DataEncrEn = 0")
"Data Scramble" (Description: "Data scrambling: DataScrambleEn. ")

Both can be set to Enabled/Disabled/Auto, with auto being the default.

I tried all possible combinations:
TSME=Auto, Scramble=Disabled -> black screen
TSME=Auto, Scramble=Enabled -> black screen
TSME=Auto, Scramble=Auto -> black screen
TSME=Disabled, Scramble=Disabled -> black screen
TSME=Disabled, Scramble=Enable -> black screen
TSME=Disabled, Scramble=Auto -> black screen

When I use any of
TSME=Enabled, Scramble=Disabled
TSME=Enabled, Scramble=Enabled
TSME=Enabled, Scramble=Auto

This leads to the kernel actually booting, but soon hanging with the following 
error:
ata9: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)
ata9: SATA link up 1.5Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata9.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)
ata9.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata9: SATA link up 1.5Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata9: link online but 1 devices misclassified, retrying
ata9: reset failed (errno=-11), retrying in 10 secs
ata9: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)
ata9: SATA link up 1.5Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata9.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)

There is also a pink bar on the left side of the screen. I was able to
get rid of that by using `module_blacklist=radeon`. (This did not help
with the ata9 issue though)

I tried all sata slots on the board to rule out any issues here.
