You can use hashes instead of symbolic revisions, and that may be
easier. I suspect you want to say "git bisect bad
origin/linux-5.13.y". You can also just do git show and note the hash.

There's other option: git bisect can be quite confusing, but you are
searching for a bug in linear history, so you can just git log
--pretty=oneline into a file, then do the binary search
manually. Should be 10 steps or so...
