Thanks a lot Nicolai for reporting this, my apologies for the breakage
which turns out to be a dereference of rdev->pdev before it's set. :-(

14:   e8 e7 c0 0e 00          callq  0xec100	      	 ; radeon_has_atpx()

26:   49 8b 44 24 10          mov    0x10(%r12),%rax	 ; rax = rdev
2b:*  0f b6 90 cb 07 00 00    movzbl 0x7cb(%rax),%edx         <-- trapping instruction

Could you verify if the patch below fixes the issue for you?

Thanks!
