This bug should be closed as "FIXED" in my humble opinion. "NEW" is grossly inaccurate.
My workstation uptime is now 109 days, continuous operation without suspend, mainly idle, mixed with episodes of heavy load on all cores and everything in between. The technical term for this is "spectacularly stable". Credit belongs to all involved, including AMD, kernel devs, motherboard maker, Debian maintainers, and many other groups who made this possible. Again in my humble opinion, the only issue remaining is AMD's failure to explain what went wrong and exactly how they worked around it. That is a separate bug, this one is done.
I suspect that Windows users did get this bug, but they didn't notice it because, well use your imagination. Then it was quietly fixed in a Windows update supplied by AMD that went out around the same time as the Typical Power bios updates.
