Kernel version 5.17.5 fixes some major issues with Ryzen 5700U based laptops that cause them to be soft-bricked when shutting down or suspending. The tl;dr version is that the kernel causes a faulty initialisation with the GPIO controller on the platform that handles events like the power button press, lid open / close and suspend / resume triggers. In the worst case, this means that booting a F36 Live ISO with a kernel lower than 5.17.5 has the possibility to soft-brick the laptop after shutdown. The user would not need to actually install Fedora, just boot from the ISO. To avoid this, please ensure that any install media produces has *AT LEAST* kernel version 5.17.5 - which I have personally tested and can confirm the problem is resolved. My discovery of the issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1995 Fix: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.17.y&id=d3f54679c6560e4e95f835107098395028ee360c
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 36-final by Fedora user crcinau using the blocker tracking app because: If the install media or live ISOs ship with a kernel version below 5.17.5, then laptops based on Ryzen 5700U CPUs will soft-brick on power down or suspend. More details in the bug report.
Justin, do you have anything to note here ahead of blocker review on Monday? Thanks!
