It is worth the effort if the problem is still in the latest kernel release as that is the only place that new development happens. If the issue is not reproducible on Linus's current releases, then finding the change that solved the problem is also good so that we can then backport it to the stable/long term kernel release for everyone to benefit from. So does your reproducer still work on the latest 5.19-rc7 release? thanks, greg k-h
