Thanks for the hint! After reverting that commit, drm-next (sort of[1])
merges cleanly into upstream again.

[1] There's still a small conflict due to the removal of
    force_dpms_off, cfr. the difference between commits
    3283c83eb6fcfbda and cc79950bf0904f58 ("drm/amd/display:
    Ensure valid event timestamp for cursor-only commits") in
    v5.19-rc7 resp. drm-next.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
