Recently I have replaced my older graphics card with RX 6800 XT. It works out of the box.
I have enabled ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers repository and updated and upgraded packages.
I am using this kernel:
uname -r
5.13.12-051312-lowlatency
I am using amdgpu driver.
lsb_release -r
Release: 21.04
sudo lshw -c display
*-display

I am using direct rendering.
glxinfo -B | grep -i 'direct'
direct rendering: Yes
Hardware video acceleration works perfectly.
Chrome-based browsers show that gpu works perfectly also.
Yet sometimes in the journal logs I see lots of messages like the following:

Questions:
- What exactly do these messages mean?
- Should I be worried?
- What should I change/update to fix these?
