GPE 6D is listed in _PRW for some devices, so maybe one of them
continues to trigger wakeup events?

You can ask the reporter to mask that GPE via "echo mask >
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6D" and see if the storm goes away
then.

The only ACPI core issue introduced between 6.9 and 6.10 I'm aware of
is the one addressed by this series

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/22385894.EfDdHjke4D@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

but this is about the EC and the problem here doesn't appear to be
EC-related.  It may be worth trying anyway, though.
