Here is VMware's analysis: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/EDITED-Workaround-for-Ubuntu-22-10-displaying-blank-screen-after/m-p/2955292/highlight/true#M182008 .

They point the finger at this backport: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/kinetic/commit/?id=89314ff239e1933357419fa91b20190150f114a8 , which they say only works as part of a larger series, I guess https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/106040/ , although I didn't check which of those made it into Linus' tree. I don't know anything about this subsystem or which patches from the series are actually needed to fix this issue, but the series does seem fairly hefty for an SRU, so perhaps a revert would be preferable?
