(Steam Deck) Random gpu crash while idling on the desktop

Brief summary of the problem:

Running Fedora Kinoite on the latest main kernel (6.4.12) I got this amdgpu crash while idling on the desktop and a full desktop lockup (probably amdgpu failed to recover fully from the crash). The log is big so I'll attach to the bottom post

Hardware description:

  • CPU: AMD Custom CPU 0405
  • GPU: 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] VanGogh [AMD Custom GPU 0405] [1002:163f] (rev ae)
  • System Memory: 16 GB 5500
  • Display(s): The integrated 800P display and a MSI MAG274QRF-QD 144 Hz connected to the HDMI output from the Steam Deck Dock
  • Type of Display Connection: eDP to MIPI converter for the integrated one, DP to HDMI (? Guessing here, not sure on the display output architecture from the dock) for the external one.

System information:

  • Distro name and Version: Fedora Kinoite 38 Immutable (Bazzite based)
  • Kernel version: Linux DeckDiMarco 6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 (closed) SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Aug 23 17:46:49 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • Custom kernel: N/A
  • AMD official driver version: N/A

How to reproduce the issue:

I was just lightly using the device in desktop mode before this crash. I have no clue what triggered it. Didn't happen since yet.
