I don't think the message is the cause of your hang. The message here is a harmless warning that we're needlessly re-calculating something we shouldn't be. That's something we shouldn't be doing (and I'm in the process of fixing), but it won't actually cause any harm or trigger a system hang.

The WARN() here will often show up any time a modeset operation happens while you're using multiple displays. It sounds like something else is going wrong for you during that modeset which does cause a hang and this message just happens to be the last thing you wind up seeing.

Could you please open a new bugzilla describing the details of your setup and any actions that trigger the hang for you? It's unlikely that fixing this message here will fix your hang, so we'll want to investigate your report separately.
