I was experiencing problems with the mouse cursor on my system in v5.11
and after a bisect to help me search the web I found my way to this
patch, which fixed the problem for me.
Mine is an Armv8 system but there is nothing particularly exotic from a
graphics card or software point of view: Debian bullseye/wayland
(gnome-shell 3.38.3, mesa-20.3.4) running on a GT-710.
However FWIW:
