That sounds like you expect the issue to return 'any moment', so I'll refrain 
from closing this bug. From https://bugs.debian.org/796087 it appears that 
you're not the only one who sees issues come and go periodically.

The goal was to test it with a newer kernel/libdrm versions, so testing with 
6.5.0-1 was good enough AFAIC. 
If -4 would reintroduce the problem, that would be an interesting data point.

Looking at libdrm's commit log, I see periodically commits where they sync up 
with the upstream linux kernel. Maybe these issues come and go when there is/
was a mismatch between the kernel and libdrm (which the sync up then fixes)?

At https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/libdrm-intel1/ you can find (most) 
previous versions and if you still have the 5.15.0-3 kernel installed, could 
you try if version 2.4.110-1 with it would also solve the problem?
And try newer libdrm-intel1 versions if not till you find one where it is fixed.
