Description

I've tried my AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT on both ubuntu (llvm 9 / mesa 19.3 - Oibaf PPA) and Manjaro (llvm 10 git / mesa-git).
On both I've been using Gnome shell and in both cases I had frequent lockups and freezes. Once my GPU disconnected to Monitor and remained so until I rebooted, other times desktop would just freeze and crash the whole system.

Software tried: LLVM 10 git / MESA 19.3 - git on Manjaro
LLVM 9 / MESA 19.3 git from Oibaf PPA
Kernels tried: Manjaro 5.3 RC4, Ubuntu 5.3 RC5 generic, Ubuntu drm-tip 5.3 daily

Error log:
avg 24 22:53:58 Marko-PC kernel: [drm:amdgpu_dm_commit_planes.constprop.0 [amdgpu]] ERROR Waiting for fences timed out or interrupted!

Happened on all setups, bug was pretty much the same, lockups weren't extremely frequent but frequent enough that they were very noticable (5-6 freezes per day on average)

Faulty hardware is probably out of options since I never had a hiccup or anything even close to crash or freeze on my Windows desktop.
