Quoting from https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html:

"[...] try your best guess which kernel part might be causing the issue.
Check the MAINTAINERS file [...] In case tricks like these don’t bring
you any further, try to search the internet on how to narrow down the
driver or subsystem in question. And if you are unsure which it is: just
try your best guess, somebody will help you if you guessed poorly. [...]"
