Looking at kernel-image-* 6.5.13-1 for release archs, I'm only seeing
mips64el (-6.5.0-5-5kc-malta, -6.5.0-5-loongson-3, -6.5.0-5-mips64r2el
suffixes), and its build targets didn't hit the codepath I had to patch
for the general case.

Anyway, since you're not reacting with “oops, we didn't mean to”, I'm
going to count this as a deliberate change.

Because that's a workaround for a problem that's not in the kernel and
that remains to be fully investigated.
