On linux v5.11 and above (up to 5.11.4) I cannot longer boot the system (GNOME/Wayland) using two graphics cards. It gets stuck with black screen with no response to keyboard/mouse.
In systemd journal there are some messages about kernel bug:

Everything works perfectly fine using current LTS v5.10.21. I am using Radeon RX 470 as a primary card, and the older ATI FirePro 2270 as a secondary one in order to provide two extra monitor outputs.
I've attached my lspci output as well as full systemd log.
