Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded my system, and one of those things was firmware-amd-graphics (specifically to 20260810-1)
I also updated firefox, and a lot of other software at the same time.
After some time, I opened up Youtube and noticed there was some artifacting.

I did some digging, and it turns out that there's a hardware AV1 decoding issue for AMD 7000s series.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/work_items/5615

Forcing h264 codec temporarily solves the issue, but considering upstream has a fix already, it would be nice to get this to everyone's hands.

Much love for all of your hard work! <3
