Happens, thx for letting us know.

BTW, what was the last Linux version that actually worked? I'm tracking
this regressions with regzbot (https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/ ) and
it would be good to have that on record at least roughly. From the text
it was not totally clear. I assume it was something like this:

#regzbot introduced: v5.19-rc1..v5.19-rc4

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

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
