New AMD Ryzen Zen 3 laptop prefers kernel 5.18

My AMD Ryzen 5 2500U laptop finally gave up the ghost. I found an AMD 7 5700U (Zen 2) with a 60Hz display laptop, and an AMD 7 5825U (Zen 3) with a 120Hz display laptop for the same price. I went with the newer processor, even though I wasn’t sure how far along the kernel was for the newer processor. After installing Tumbleweed with the 5.17 kernel, I had these errors on booting:

Replacing kernel 5.17 with 5.18~rc3-2.1.g8ae42ea from the kernel HEAD repo got rid fo the Watchdog error, and the latest kernel 5.18~rc4-1.1.g4ddddbd got rid of the other errors. So if you are having issues with a Zen 3 processor on the current 5.17 kernel, you might give the 5.18 release candidates a try.
