Thanks for testing!

Probably the easiest way to handle a fix for v5.9 would be to simply 
merge the latest version of this patch also to v5.9-rcX: 
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20200904131711.12950-3-m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx/ 


This way we would get it fixed and avoid possible conflict in the -next. 
Do you have any AMDGPU fixes for v5.9 in the queue? Maybe you can add 
that patch to the queue? Dave: would it be okay that way?

Best regards
