I didn't notice at first, but AFAICS the most recent kernel you've
actually tested is v6.8, and "6.19 likely affected" is just
speculation.

There have been a lot of resource assignment changes since then, so
I doubt it's worth testing/debugging these old kernels until we
actually know the problem happens on v6.19 or v7.0-rc1.

IMO we should start by debugging the current kernel, fix the issue
there, then decide about backporting.
