Hi,

Since this seems to be a kernel bug, I am resssigning this bug report
to linux kernel and marking it as affecting xserver-xorg-video-intel.
Since linux 5.10.19 is already in sid I am marking this bug report as
fixed with that upload. Trying to do everything with this message, not
sure if it will work well.
