When testing the rc1 on my openSUSE Tumbleweed desktop, I've started
experiencing "frozen desktop" (KDE/Wayland) issues. The symptoms are that
everything freezes including mouse cursor. After a while it either resolves,
or e.g. firefox crashes (if it was actively used when it froze) or it's
frozen for too long and I reboot with alt-sysrq-b. When it's frozen I can
still ssh to the machine, and there's nothing happening in dmesg.
The machine is based on Amd Ryzen 7 2700 and Radeon RX7600.

I've bisected the merge commits so far and now will try to dig into this
one. I've noticed there was also a drm fixes PR later in the merge window but
since it was also merged into rc1 and thus didn't prevent the issue for me,
I guess it's not relevant here?

Because the reproduction wasn't very deterministic I considered a commit bad
even if it didn't lead to completely frozen desktop and a forced reboot.
Even the multi-second hangs that resolved were a regression compared to 6.7
anyway.

If there are known issues and perhaps candidate fixes already, please do tell.

Thanks,
Vlastimil
