Actually the above message is not complete:

The messages from kfd have been there with older kernels, too, but were not
fatal. They are caused by the HP Laptop 15-bw0xx/8332, not having a iommu or
its BIOS not properly initializing it.
But linux-5.15 has added the following lines to the amdgpu_device_ip_init: 
        r = amdgpu_amdkfd_resume_iommu(adev);
        if (r)
                goto init_failed;
which make causes the amdgpu_device_ip_init function to fail when kfd init
fails. As a workaround one could remove these.
A BIOS update could perhaps also solve the problem but seems to require a
Windows running on the Laptop (which was actually sold without Windows)
