So I just did the following

1. Started with my local tree (5.11-rc5 + patches I'm working on, nothing tty related)
   ( https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commits/master )
2. Dropped the 2 reverts which I was carrying to workaround this locally
3. Cherry-picked 9f12e37cae44
4. Build + installed a new bzImage

Unfortunately this does not resolve the problem, after this the problem is back.

I can build a kernel from a clean torvalds/linux/master but I don't expect
any different results from that. Let me know if you still want me to do
a clean build to make sure this is not something in my local tree.

Regards,

Hans
