Thanks for checking those.  That's good to hear it's only an issue in 
the LTS series.

It means we have the option to either drop that patch from LTS kernel 
series or identify the other commit(s) that helped it.

Can you see if adding this commit to 6.6.y helps you?

That's an interesting finding.  Do you know if your other system(s) 
support preferred cores?

Also as a curiosity why don't you use active mode (EPP)?  Most people 
find a better balance with perf/efficiency with EPP.
