[op6-enchilada][xiaomi-beryllium] Nothing on the screen with 6.12.44-{qcom,sdm845}, fixed downgrading to 6.12.43

On a pure trixie system (re-flashed after trying upgrade to forky), upgrading to 6.12.44-sdm845 and then rebooting gets nothing on the screen. Logged in via SSH and downgraded back to 6.12.43-sdm845, then rebooted, getting to a working system.

I've noticed some EGL/mesa/GPU-related errors in the journal, then here's the grep
