Jianmin did get close to a proper fix a while ago
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217069#c46 ), but it
appears there wasn't any progress to fix this during the last week. Or
did I miss it?

This is kinda unsatisfying, as the culprit is now known for nearly four
weeks; especially as this is a issue that is present in 6.2 since it was
released and would have been possible to fix there and in mainline with
a simple revert. We even got close to one two weeks ago already
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217069#c49 ).

#sigh

I'd say we should revert this. Rafael, what's your opinion here?
