Occasional screen freeze and error with i915 [drm] *ERROR* flip_done timed out

Occasionally while using my system, the screen will freeze for around ten seconds. The display stays frozen. Audio keeps playing, and I can still interact with the system, but it stays frozen for around ten seconds. After regaining control, this is often followed-up shortly, a second or two later, by a similar freeze.

When this happens, the journalctl consistently has the following two lines:

Oct 24 01:31:12 telic kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* flip_done timed out
Oct 24 01:31:12 telic kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* [CRTC:100:pipe A] commit wait timed out

I don't have a consistent way to reproduce this issue. Things I've tried, based on previous issues (which didn't work, so I assume this is a different issue):

• Setting i915.dmc_firmware_path= (per #10243 )
• Setting i915.enable_psr=0 (per #10664 )
• Using latest Manjaro versions of 6.6, 6.10, 6.11, and 6.12

These logs are for i3, on Manjaro, with Linux 6.12, on a native laptop screen (Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 4i), with i915.enable_psr=0 turned on.

There's another set of logs as a comment on a similar-looking issue.
