6.1-rc1 indeed does not trigger the drm_WARN and for now (couple of
reboots, running for 5 minutes now) it seems stable. 6.0.0 usually
crashed during boot (but not always).

Do you think it would be worthwhile to try 6.0.0 with d3a7051841f0 ?

Any other commits which I can try before I go down the bisect route ?

(I'm assuming this will also affect other users, so we really need
to fix this for 6.0.x before it starts hitting Arch + Fedora users)

Regards,

Hans
