I ran a few tests but the commit that introduced your changes
passes every time. There's a chance that the bisector got misled
due to the test runs failing for whatever reason unrelated to the
patch. There's definitely something introducing a bug somewhere,
as current mainline/master makes this test fail on this target
when kernel/configs/debug.config is applied, but it must be
somewhere else. I'll investigate this some more to see what I can
find.

About the steps to reproduce it, we're using the current KernelCI
tools (kci_build) to generate the kernel. To actually launch the
tests I'm submitting jobs to Collabora's LAVA lab, which is
something that isn't available to external users, so it might be
a bit hard for you to reproduce the exact environment from the
original test. If you need to test something, I can do it for
you.

Thanks,
Ricardo
