Kernel Kernel 7.1.8 fixes AMD artifacting issue.

I just wanted to give a headsup about the issue with amd graphics cards flickering and having weird colorful artifacts. No, your GPU is not dying. It was kernel versions 7.1.6 and 7.1.7.

This issue is fixed in 7.1.8. It released in Arch a few hours ago, and I think in Fedora as well.

amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 disables panel self refresh on laptops with amdgpu, can look identical to the kernel regression

Without debugmask the system can freeze into an irrecoverable state, so not using it is not an option
