Hi,
Since 58a261bfc967, I'm experiencing choppy display performance on my Framework 13 laptop. I ran a git bisect and narrowed it down to:
commit 58a261bfc96763a851cb48b203ed57da37e157b8

drm/amd/display: use a more lax vblank enable policy for older ASICs
Reverting this commit on top of the current mainline 6.12-rc1 (9852d85ec9d4) fixes the problem and GPU performance is back to normal.
Without the revert I get sluggish and janky animations in both GNOME 47 and Sway 1.9 on Chimera Linux, along with slight input delay when typing into text fields, etc.
Nothing else is different between this commit and previous working versions (6.11) of the kernel, i.e. same config, desktop setup.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug/test. :)
Regards.
