Description:
After upgrading to 20200122.1eb2408-1, I noticed that Gnome wayland session was not starting, and it auto started into Xorg. Looking into the journals, I found these lines:

Feb 03 21:21:48 ws kernel: [drm:uvd_v1_0_start [radeon]] *ERROR* UVD not responding, trying to reset the VCPU!!!
Feb 03 21:21:49 ws kernel: [drm:uvd_v1_0_start [radeon]] *ERROR* UVD not responding, trying to reset the VCPU!!!

Additional info:
GPU info:
lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland PRO [Radeon R7 240/340] (rev 87)

After downgrading to 20191220.6871bff-1, the errors from kernel went away, and gnome wayland session started working again.
