I gave it a try with v5.8-rc1 on Salvator-XS with R-Car H3 ES2.0. However, I couldn't reproduce the issue. Does it happen on that specific board only? Is this serdev-related? Note that I had to disable CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, as I don't have the firmware blobs it referenced. Do I need them to trigger the issue? As the .config has a few non-upstream options, do you have any patches applied that might impact the issue? Thanks again!
