The traceback is almost sufficient as you already located where the issue is,
on the radeon part, r100.
One other log is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log that would contain interesting hints.
And lsmod to see which lkm is loaded although we can deduce those.

Just before r100_irq_set, we see radeon_enable_vblank_kms and drm,
I tried to grep on all Kconfig about vblank, or radeon or drm inside my 5.15.x
sources but got no hints; you should try on your kernel sources.

You should disable the automatic Xorg start so you can investigate more easily.
On your /etc/inittab let the default init runlevel be 3 and you will stay on a
regular tty after boot.
Then you log and 'startx', once the Xorg crash, you will get back your control
on the tty.

On your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, that doesn't exists anymore but you can create one,
and play with different settings around the vblank maybe,
something on the video card block like:

Section "Device"
  Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
  Driver         "amdgpu"
  Option         "anoption" "avalue"
EndSection


For options, take a looking at:

- https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/man/man4/radeon.4.xhtml
