There is one xhci patch in that range that has caused other issues:
ff0e50d3564f xhci: Fix command ring pointer corruption while aborting a command

That patch has a fix that is not yet applied, fix can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20211126122340.1193239-2-mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com/
or
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnyman/xhci.git/commit/?h=for-usb-linus&id=385b5b09c3546c87cfb730b76abe5f8d73c579a2

Does reverting the original patch, or applying the fix help?

Thanks
