Clear-on-release only runs on VRAM, which amdgpu_ttm_map_buffer() reaches
via its direct MC address without programming a GART window, yet the wipe
still forces a VMID 0 flush. On GFX11 (e.g. Navi33) that spurious SDMA
flush can wedge the engine; only flush when a GART window is actually used.
v2: Let amdgpu_ttm_map_buffer() return whether the VMID 0 flush is needed,
and drive the clear and copy paths from that. (Christian)
Fixes: a68c7eaa7a8f ("drm/amdgpu: Enable clear page functionality")

Does that really needs to be NULL for any use case? I would just make it mandatory for simplicity.
Apart from that looks good to me,
