 * Firmware loads successfully during boot.
 * ASPM has already been disabled using pcie_aspm=off.
 * Issue reproduced on multiple kernels, including 6.12.x and 7.0.12.

Troubleshooting already performed:

 * Latest firmware-mediatek installed.
 * Latest BIOS installed (FX706HF.312).
 * memtester completed successfully.
 * CPU and SSD stress tests completed successfully.
 * NVMe stress completed successfully.
 * NVIDIA driver shows no Xid errors.
 * Thermal stress does not immediately reproduce the panic.
 * MT7921 firmware loads successfully before failures.

The decoded kernel panic report and diagnostic logs are available and can be provided.Subject: Subject: Kernel panic with MediaTek MT7921 (14c3:7961) on ASUS TUF Gaming F17 FX706HF

Please send the decoded kernel log.  (The panic decoder is just a static
