Hello,
When transitioning from kernel 5.13 to 5.15 as a security channel update, Focal suffered a kernel regression which broke amdgpu module support on Amazon Web Services cloud hardware. An upstream fix was accepted some months ago but has been stalled in the pipe. It would be greatly appreciated if the patch could be accelerated for Ubuntu 5.15 kernels ASAP, particularly Focal where it has been causing breakage as existing AWS customer applications apply security updates.
Thank you for your attention!

drm/amdgpu: fix check in fbdev init
The new vkms virtual display code is atomic so there is
no need to call drm_helper_disable_unused_functions()
when it is enabled. Doing so can result in a segfault.
When the driver switched from the old virtual display code
to the new atomic virtual display code, it was missed that
we enable virtual display unconditionally under SR-IOV
so the checks here missed that case. Add the missing
check for SR-IOV.
There is no equivalent of this patch for Linus' tree
because the relevant code no longer exists. This patch
is only relevant to kernels 5.15 and 5.16.
