can you help to answer the below questions:

Did you attempt to test it multiple times on the tip of the git to see
if the problems goes away?

if same test is performed multiple times with or without reverting patch
on same platform (laptop/hardware/firmware) on which issue is observed
we may see same working/issue behavior. if it is regressing then always
it should work with or without reverting patches on same laptop. is this
the case here?

I don't see any regression here. I requested to retest with other
hardware/platform/system also as per my above test (output) all working
fine in 3 different platforms and not able to reproduce or recreate for
my side on 5.17.

Thanks,

Basavaraj

Reverting this and the the other two on top fixed this. Tried to not revert only the above mentioned commit, but it's still not working.
