SUMMARY
Blank screen when resuming from sleep or hibernate or when TV has been off for a while

Originally raised with KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465403.
KDE developers think it is a kernel defect and asked to raise it upstream.
Kernel.org suggests to raise kernel defects at the correct distribution.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot
2. Login
3. Sleep or Hibernate
4. Wait for TV to go a sleep or switch off (Samsung Neo QLED QN90B 43")
5. Resume
6. You reached the failure state

OBSERVED RESULT
The screen is white or flickering between white and rendering the lock screen.
Login works. Typing in kwin_x11 --replace sometimes works and then the system can be used again.
Most of the times the system does not recover and a reboot is required.

I used KDE Connect to unlock and execute kwin_x11 --replace also.
This sometimes also works as a work arround.

EXPECTED RESULT
Rendering the lock screen normally and resume the system in a usable state.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.1.9-arch1-2 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

See KDE comment:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465403#c2

Comment contents:
"The fact that restarting kwin_x11 doesn't help all the time and it also happens on wayland sounds like it's most likely a bug in the kernel.
If you use nvidia, try reporting the issue to nvidia developers; otherwise please report this issue upstream to kernel developers."

Is this a regression i.e. it used to work? If yes, you'll need to debug it [1]. Please try different kernels (earlier, lts, mainline, etc) to see if the problem can be reproduced. General kernel troubleshooting advice [2]. Please let us know what you find out.

This is a new install on a new device and it always failed.

I did try 5.15.91-4-lts and there the problem is not present.
So between 5.15.91-4-lts and 6.1.9-arch1-2 something went pear-shaped.

About this machine:
UM690 Version 1.0.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 3.300GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon 680M

I also have a laptop, also AMD, which I can hookup to the same screen and test the both kernels.
Would that make sense?

I also tested my laptop, there the issue does not occur.

Host: 82A2 Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05
Kernel: 6.1.9-arch1-2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800U with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 1.800GHz
GPU: AMD ATI 03:00.0 Renoir

Now also present on 6.1.15-1-lts.

You've confirmed it's a kernel regression. Aforementioned links are still relevant. amdgpu / radeon kernel bugs can be reported here [1]
