The bug is ubuntu's :
 
it is a patch picked from stable and backported  #2074091


to quote Ubuntu's own explaination : 

  SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The following upstream
       stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

       upstream stable patchset 2024-07-25

                Ported from the following upstream stable releases:
                        v6.6.35, v6.9.6


The offending patch (backported wihtout seeing it will breeak partner's
code) :

    - drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2
<---- This is the one


I don't know why i use dkms, AMD is an Ubuntu partner, i use Rocm and
wanted to use 6.2 , for other reasons my computer need kernel >6.5 , and
mesa >23.0 , so upgrade to ubuntu 24.04 seemed a good choice (instead of
hwe + other stuff)
