TWIMC, it was now confirmed that reverting 37fb29bd1f90f1 in 6.7-rc
fixes the problem.

The bugzilla ticket has the details; it's sadly all a bit mess (it was
afaics actually a gentoo user that confirmed the above in a downstream
bug tracker [https://bugs.gentoo.org/918128#c21] and a gentoo kernel dev
forwarded the result to our bugzilla...).

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
