Subject: 6.10/bisected/regression - commits bc87d666c05 and 6d4279cb99ac cause
 appearing green flashing bar on top of screen on Radeon 6900XT and 120Hz

Hi,
Day before yesterday I replaced 7900XTX to 6900XT for got clear in
which kernel first time appeared warning message "DMA-API: amdgpu
0000:0f:00.0: cacheline tracking EEXIST, overlapping mappings aren't
supported".
The kernel 6.3 and older won't boot on a computer with Radeon 7900XTX.
When I booted the system with 6900XT I saw a green flashing bar on top
of the screen when I typed commands in the gnome terminal which was
maximized on full screen.
Demonstration: https://youtu.be/tTvwQ_5pRkk
For reproduction you need Radeon 6900XT GPU connected to 120Hz OLED TV by HDMI.

I bisected the issue and the first commit which I found was 6d4279cb99ac.

Every time after bisecting I usually make sure that I found the right
commit and build the kernel with revert of the bad commit.
But this time I again observed an issue after running a kernel builded
without commit 6d4279cb99ac.
And I decided to find a second bad commit.
The second bad commit has been bc87d666c05.

After reverting both these commits on top of 54f71b0369c9 the issue is gone.

I also attach the build config.

My hardware specs: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=f25a873c5e

Rodrigo or anyone else from the AMD team can you look please.
