Update after about 12 days on the fixed package.

On 2026-09-24 I installed linux-firmware-amd-graphics
20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu3.3. Installing it required moving the
linux-firmware metapackage from 0ubuntu2.26 to 0ubuntu3.1, because the
split package Breaks the older monolithic one.

Result on Strix Point (Ryzen AI 9 365, Radeon 890M, gfx1150, DCN 3.5):

  amdgpu: [drm] Loading DMUB firmware via PSP: version=0x09003F00
  amdgpu: [drm] DMUB hardware initialized: version=0x09003F00

Checksums of the decompressed dcn_3_5_dmcub.bin:

  0ubuntu2.26 (0x09002C01, worked on my machine):
  ce5dc8ef543ce71a0ef772d4d821872fbfaa48afd0634e00f814e04ed991c431

  0ubuntu3.2 (0x09000D00, still broken, from comment #6):
  3849f6e2dd33c24977254f486710be9ee8f51fb5dad4b442444e119ced0c55d5

  0ubuntu3.3 (0x09003F00):
  c8bf300cd56bad46934090279f1eb483cef450d5a5a6806a2edcf7d9eafe0f1f

Observation: since 2026-09-24 (about twelve days, on 6.17.0-1032-oem and
then -1033-oem) none of the original symptoms has come back: no SDMA0
fence timeout, no soft lockup in the dmub_srv_wait_for_idle /
dmub_abm_set_pipe path, no Oops. The original failure showed up within a
few hours.

For completeness: on 2026-10-06 the kernel logged a single "BUG: Bad
page state" report (not an Oops) while a Firefox IO thread was calling
rename() on ext4 (ext4_evict_inode -> truncate_inode_pages_final ->
free_unref_folios). There are no amdgpu or TTM frames in the trace, so I
cannot tell whether it is related; I mention it only to avoid
overstating..

One caveat: since my original report I moved from a Chromium-based
browser to Firefox, so my daily GPU workload is not the same as when the
regression first hit. It is a good sign, but not an exact reproduction
of the original conditions.

Thanks Juerg for the fix.
