Hi folks again!

I have been testing the new AGESA 1.0.0.4 these days. Currently my uptime is reaching 3days+, which was impossible before - the system always hangs within 2 days. Hence I consider the new firmware indeed solved this Soft Lock issue!

I'm testing on Ubuntu Focal, acpi related settings are all left default. On my Asus PRIME B350M, default optimised settings are being used.

In addition, the CPU C6 State seems also normal, during idle, CPU enters its idle state with very low power consumption (measured externally). k10temp reports Vcore 850mV(approx.).

It seems that to address to this versioning mess, AMD claims that this 1.0.0.4 release reunited all architectures into one codebase.[1] I guess they also "reunited" the version number. The AGESA was also 1.0.0.7 on my motherboard before.
