Thank you!

I gave it a try with v5.8-rc1 on Salvator-XS with R-Car H3 ES2.0.
However, I couldn't reproduce the issue.
Does it happen on that specific board only? Is this serdev-related?
Note that I had to disable CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, as I don't have the
firmware blobs it referenced.  Do I need them to trigger the issue?
As the .config has a few non-upstream options, do you have any patches
applied that might impact the issue?

Thanks again!
