Thanks. Then the most likely case was that it was introduced in
the 5.19 merge window and thus also present in 5.19-rc1, but there isn't a 
prebuild kernel to verify.

I see you already responded to that thread, excellent :-)
Hopefully they'll read this whole bug report, but mentioning that your actual
problem was NOT triggered till 5.18, but did trigger from 5.19-rc4 and later,
could be useful. I may not fully understand what upstream talked about, but I
only saw a reference to a 6.0.0 kernel.

Thanks for testing and reporting back :-)
