I built a snapshot of the linux package with my change. It's available from:

	https://people.debian.org/~ukleinek/linux-image-5.10.0-5-arm64-unsigned_5.10.24-1ukl1_arm64.deb

for anyone who wants to test. If you append .sig to the URL you can get 
a detached signature, just in case you consider the image safer then :-)

Best regards
Uwe
