fe6f0bd03d697835e76dd18d232ba476c65b8282 is not likely. I suspect you

drm/radeon/kms: disable hdmi audio by default

I'm trying to get in contact with ppl affected by issues when enabling
audio. Hopefully we can fix audio support and enable it by default
again.

For now, please load radeon module with "audio=1", or simply boot with
radeon.audio=1
