There was an update for 5.8.7-1 yesterday to unstable (although the
signed packages are not yet there). Could you test that one as well?
Now if the issue is still present in 5.8.7 then if I understand you
correctly then it is okay with 5.6.14-2, but is an issue first with
5.7.6-1.
What you can try to do is, check if to bisect between the two stable
upstream versions 5.6.14 and 5.7.6 and try to find the commit
introducing the issue. If it is convicable enough that it introduced a
bug we are probably on the lucky side (saying that because if you see
the issue only with bbswitch, and a tainted kernel upstream might ask
to reproduce the issue with an untainted kernel, or it is convicable a
bug otherwise).
Can you try those two things? So first check if 5.8.7 has the issue,
if possible then confirm as well for the current mainline, and
secondly if the issue is still present in 5.8.7, try to isolate the
commit introducing the issue beween 5.6.14 and 5.7.6.
Some help on how to do the bisect can be found in
