   Using firmware-amd-graphics on a RV730 causes system freezes when VA-API   
   hardware video acceleration is used for H.264 encoded content.   
      
   Installing 20210315-3~bpo10+1 has promptly eliminated the freezes for me.   
      
   I realize this is a particularly old version of the package, however I picked   
   it specifically because it was reported to fix similar issues years ago, on   
   RV600-class hardware, though unfortunately the conversation was years old at   
   this point.   
      
   This problem is easily reproduced by playing a H.264 encoded file in mpv and   
   switching VA-API acceleration on with Ctrl-H.   
      
   Testing every single version of the package to determine when exactly this   
   regression was introduced would be time consuming: I'm available for further   
   testing if required, however I would appreciate some assistance so I don't   
   have to try dozens of    
   different firmware versions.
