[BUG] Kernel panic in amd_sfh on Lenovo Legion Go

[BUG] Kernel panic in amd_sfh on Lenovo Legion Go

[Matthew Schwartz]

Hello,

While using my Lenovo Legion Go handheld device on SteamOS, I have had many instances of warnings and occasional kernel panics in amd_sfh_work on their 6.15.8 kernel. Using kdumpst, I was able to get some logs for the most recent kernel panic:

<4>[  662.713733] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Similar warnings in amd-sfh appeared intermittently earlier in my journal until eventually one triggered the kernel panic above.

The warnings appeared while I was leaving the device idle on Steam's GamepadUI home page while using gamescope. Because this bug is intermittent, I don't have a more reliable way to reproduce the issue other than leaving the device idle for extended periods of time.

Thanks,
Matthew
