That branch is the outdated one:

https://git.kernel.org/linus/a897913a819191550ab2fa2784d3c3ada3a096d3

Please see:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux/-/blob/amd-staging-drm-next/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c#L9854

It was introduced by commit f9b4f20c4777 ("drm/amd/display: Add Freesync
HDMI support to DM").
