We discussed this bug during our weekly team meeting and with your
results we have no idea how to address this. Our best recommendation is
to test if this is an issue on a later kernel and then take this to upstream.

So can you please check if that problem also happens with 6.12 or better
still on 6.15, please?
(Note that 6.12.31 has another amdgpu bug, so please make sure to test
at least 6.12.32 (that is, take the kernel package from testing and not
backports, or wait until backports are updated accordingly);
experimental has 6.15.)

The right place to report the problem upstream then is
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues. Given that there will
probably some things to test in reply to that, it would be great if you
could care for that report eliminating the kernel team as middle men.
If so please mark this bug as forwarded with a link to your report (or
reply with that info if you don't know how to do that).

Best regards
Uwe
