Brief summary of the problem:

AMD Ryzen and AMD Radeon RX 5700 work well with Games and videos. But there is one issue after the last update of Linux Kernel 5.16.2:

Reboot or PC startup has the issue, sometimes (not always) black screen appears and takes long about 1 min to login. But it gets little glitch screen. I have to reboot it, then the issue comes again or lucky no black screen. It is like random.

It happens exactly after the update of amdgpu driver mesa 21.3.4 and Linux Kernel 5.16.2 (or 5.15 has the same issue). Before the update there was no problem with reboot or PC startup.
