Linux 6.3.1 + AMD RX 570 on ppc64le 4K: Kernel attempted to read user page (1128) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

I'm using Gentoo Linux on a Raptor CS Talos 2 ppc64le, GPU is an AMD RX 570. So far the past dozen of kernels (up to 6.2.14) worked flawlessly, but with 6.3.1 I don't get any video output and I get the following in journalctl:
