Just to be sure, that I understood you correctly. That is if on the
current system with the issue you roll back just only the kernel back
to 6.1.8-1, then the issue dissaper?
If this is the case, would you be testing as well directly 6.1.8 and
6.1.11 upstream (please do as well 6.1.12, 6.1.12-1 though just
uploaded to unstable earlier today), and if reproducible, bisect the
changes between the two versions to find the introducing bad commit?
Regards,
Salvatore
