Exactly.

Renesas/master is (usually) never rebased.
So when did this rebase happen, and why is it relevant?

Indeed, I expect any tree that merged v5.19-rc2 or later to contain
this regression.  That doesn't mean it's a good idea to tell all
consumers of v5.19-rc2 and later they got a regression (and make it
sound like the problem was introduced in their trees).

Sorry, I don't know what is a "2nd order regression".

Good. So please report it to the relevant parties.

While bisecting, as soon as you happen to arrive at a commit
that is already upstream...

(which happens here  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

... there is no point in "blaming" any of the bisection points before.

The git command to check this is (assumed "linus" is a remote pointing
to Linus' tree):

    git branch -a --contains 044610f8e4155ec0374f7c8307b725b7d01d750c
linus/master

You can use similar commands to find the maintainer's tree for commits
that are in linux-next and in a for-next branch, but not yet upstream.

Thanks!
