If it's an option, bisecting between 5.16 and 5.17 which commit
introduced the regression would be nice.

We can easily test that: could you try booting with video=HDMI-A-1:D (or
HDMI-A-2, depending on whether you use HDMI0 or HDMI1) and see if it
helps?

tbf, the downstream kernel has pretty much the same code here, so the
issue is very likely to affect it too.

I would just assume that your TV has some unusual behaviour that throws
the driver off, and most people won't.
