Thanks for the details. What was the last known good kernel version
that did not exhibit this issue on your system? Bisecting against that
is your best bet to try and find where a change was introduced that
might be causing this issue to occur.

Also just a quick note, since I noticed you mention it here: 4.20.y is
not supported (see kernel.org for a list of supported releases).
4.19.y and 5.10.y, however, are.
