In the other email you said:

But are you proposing to revert the mentioned commit in mainline too
or just in the 5.15.y LTS tree ?
Only the 5.15.y tree. Sorry - that could have been clearer. There's no
regression anywhere else. Mainline and other stable kernels are all ok.
Thanks for investigating this! I'll queue it up for 5.15.
