NV31 XTX cannot boot into Ubuntu 22.04.3 Desktop with upstream(inbox) driver installed

[Alvin Huan]

[Impact]

NV31 XTX/XTW cannot boot into Ubuntu 22.04.3 after upgrading distro to latest Ubuntu 22.04.3 kernel and firmware

Not repro with NV21 XL or W6800

[Fix]
Cherry-pick the latest PMFW https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu/smu_13_0_0.bin

[Other Info]

The IMU FW included in Linux firmware package needs to be paired with the latest PMFW smu_13_0_0.bin for Navi31

Jammy firmware updates only include latest IMU firmware.

I believe the same thing should be done for Navi33 at same time, it upgraded IMU as well. So these two commits are needed in Jammy and Lunar:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/amdgpu/smu_13_0_0.bin?id=39d6fcc73100ae4aeeec0194bbf102c672673edd

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/amdgpu/smu_13_0_7.bin?id=a7fe4aa13128ce8139e339f2ea61449cf27cdac5

@Juerg:

Internal team looked at it, VP with Navi31 XTX boards, VNP with the others.
So the testing with OEM-6.1/OEM-6.5 on other Navi31 from earlier bug is accurate.

Confirmed that upgrading SMU binary (just dropped into /lib/firmware/updates/amdgpu) fixes the issue.

Considering the regression impact; can we please roll this extra file out?

I have just installed linux-firmware_20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.8_all on 23.04 and it has fixed the display freezing at boot problem for me with a Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX].

[Erkki (yespox)]

I have 7900 XTX and Kubuntu 23.04 6.2.0-34-generic
Reverting to version 1.2 worked and so did upgrading to 20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.8

Thanks for fast solution!

[Henrik Holst (henrik-holst2)]

Another confirm here from a 7900XTX user that 1.8 fixed what broke in 1.7 (had to revert back to 1.5 before when 1.7 hit).

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Internal team has tested the Jammy update (20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.21) as well on NV31 XTX card and it looks good there as well.

[Matthew Woodward (matthewwoodward)]

I have a AMD RX 7900 XTX with Kubuntu 23.04 6.2.0-34-generic. Upgrading to 1.8 fixed it for me. Thank you very much for your help!

I'm sorry I've tried both proposed and without proposed and the issue remains ! Actually It was always on to begin with then I turned it off just to make sure this wasn't causing it. And now I've turned it back on again. Tested this friday the 13th from what I understand the package was updated the 10th!?

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Please share a kernel log of the failure after you've upgraded.

[Ofloo (ofloo)]

Upgraded day before yesterday and everything is working now.
