Kashyap did also mention earlier that he say the drop from v5.11 -> v5.12.

The only thing I saw possibly related there was Jan's work in 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20210111164717.21937-1-jack@suse.cz/
to fix a performance regression witnessed on megaraid sas for slower media.

But I quite doubtful that this is the issue.
