the trace file is from -rc7 or from -rc7 with this patch reverted?

I asked, because I see no hint that anything goes wrong. However I have a suspicion if you bisected it to this patch.

If you just do the above, does thing work for you again?

My suspicion is that the use_ll_privacy check is the wrong one here. It only checks if hardware feature is available, not if it is also enabled.
