How old is the kernel? Can you attach the full dmesg with kernel parameters drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=4M to see more information about the issue?

I'm seeing this with drm-tip, and I just rechecked today and the issue is still present.
I'm about to attach the dmesg you asked for as well

Created attachment 146027 [details]
dmesg (drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=4M, dpcd aux backlight left disabled + no patches)

Created attachment 146028 [details]
dmesg (drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=4M, dpcd aux backlight enabled manually + no patches)
