One potential IGT fix patch to resolve the test case failure is:

tests/amdgpu/amd_bypass.c
data->pipe_crc = igt_pipe_crc_new(data->drm_fd, data->pipe_id,
- AMDGPU_PIPE_CRC_SOURCE_DPRX);
+ INTEL_PIPE_CRC_SOURCE_AUTO);
The kernel panic error gone after change "dprx" to "auto" in the IGT test.

In my view ,the IGT amdgpu bypass test will do some common setup work including crc piple, source.
When the IGT sets up a new CRC pipe capture source for amdgpu bypass test, the SOURCE was set as "dprx" instead of "auto"
It makes "amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_crc_source()" failed to set correct AUX and it's transfer function invalid .
The system I tested use HDMI port connected to monitor .

amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_crc_source-> (aux = (aconn->port) ? &aconn->port->aux : &aconn->dm_dp_aux.aux;)
drm_dp_start_crc ->
drm_dp_dpcd_readb-> aux->transfer is NULL, issue here.
The fix will use the "auto" keyword, which will let the driver select a default source of frame CRCs for this CRTC.

Correct me if have some wrong points.

Thank you!
Perry.
