I was finally able to spend a bit of time on this. Unfortunately, there’s
not much to report back.

I don’t think I can narrow down which firmware file causes the problem,
because I don’t have a last known good version. All firmware files that I
tested (Ubuntu versions 1.190.5, 1.197 and latest linux-firmware.git)
immediately trigger the bug when I try the only reliable reproducer I know
(i.e., running flatpak’s com.github.quaternion package).

Since it can take several days for the bug to happen if I just use the
machine normally, it would take weeks to narrow down which of the picasso_*
files is more stable relative to the others. And even then, I wouldn’t be
sure about it.

I’m running with the Mesa build from Mario’s PPA now. If I don’t see any
issue within two weeks, I think it will be possible to say that the bug is
gone, or at least much harder to hit.

I can’t use my reproducer in this case, because I can’t change the Mesa
version inside the flatpak image.
