   I have told that as the kernel in Debian 11.

   I keep talking that only for understanding the problem depth and not for   
   fixing that in 4 kernels!   
      
   That is, there can be simpler to apply that workaround.

   OK, ask.

   We talk about different variants, and the hanging I saw also on one 6   
   kernel just after installing Debian 13 and that is why #1118349 I opened   
   about the hanging but not rebooting in the initial report #879992.
