[amdgpu] Extreme screen flickering when setting a non-native resolution

[Tobias Bossert]

As soon I set the screen resolution to non native (4k laptop display) the screen begins to flicker and horizontal/vertical lines appear. (See attached image) Interestingly this happens only to the internal screen, external monitors work fine.

Also during boot (supposedly when the display driver is loaded) severe tearing is visible for brief moment.

An issue with the screen itself can be ruled out since there are no issues when running ubuntu 20.04.
