The first attempt was sufficient: it breaks as early as that version.

Checking the upstream diff, nothing obvious on the DTB side. Trying to
use 5.16.18-1's DTB with 5.17~rc3-1~exp1 kernel didn't help anyway.
I've also tried latest mainline: v5.18-rc4-192-g38d741cb70b3
built with:
cp ~/config-5.17.0-1-arm64 .config
time PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- oldconfig # accept everything
time PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg -j32
and the symptoms are the same: black screen at start-up.
I've also checked the serial console (which is confirmed to work if I
boot 5.16.18-1), and I'm not getting anything there either, with either
5.17~rc3-1~exp1 or my local v5.18-rc4-192-g38d741cb70b3 build.
