It was picked up by Thomas and pushed out into tip, which is pulled by
-next:

maz@hot-poop:~/arm-platforms$ git describe --contains c48c8b829d2b966a6649827426bcdba082ccf922
next-20220420~51^2~3^2

So it definitely is in today's -next.

This looks completely unrelated:

This is a crash in cpu_ca15_set_pte_ext() when populating the
userspace page tables, which seems unrelated to interrupt affinity.

I suggest you bisect this to find the actual problem.

Thanks,
